Hydro Tasmania is considering developing Australian renewable energy projects outside the nation's island state as the company looks at expanding a partnership with a unit of China's Shenhua Group Corp.

The Tasmanian state-owned energy company is assessing new wind farms and projects to supply power to remote areas that aren't connected to the main electricity grid, Chief Executive Officer Roy Adair said on Tuesday.

Hobart-based Hydro Tasmania, which completed a deal on Tuesday to sell 75 percent of its Musselroe wind farm to Guohua Energy Investment Co, plans further projects.
