A GREEN energy boom could power just under 400,000 north Queensland homes by the next decade.

An Australian Conservation Foundation report estimated the northeastern region - which includes Townsville, Mackay and Charters Towers - would become the state's second biggest clean energy hot spot if pipeline projects were approved.

The report assessed 40 energy projects committed since 2015, with a dozen set in the north east region.

If completed, the conservation found clean energy would power an estimated 393,496 homes from Isaac Regional Council to Cassowary Coast Regional Council.

The power push would also generate 2216 new renewables construction jobs, as the large-scale projects move through the development pipeline.

The region was betting heavily on solar power, with all 12 of the north eastern pipeline projects reliant on the sun.

ACF said the region would benefit from the state's biggest green jobs boom if it started chasing a diverse power mix.

"Projects proposed for northeast Queensland have the potential to create the greatest employment, involving a mix of hydro, solar, wind and a small amount of bioenergy," the report said.

The approval of 36 energy projects would create 28,505 north eastern construction jobs over the next 15 years.

ACF said solar power would employ 10,581 people, hyrdo electricity could provide a further 11,304 people with work, while wind and bioenergy would create 6589 and 32 jobs in the region.

ACF said ongoing developments in solar and wind technology would create incentives to repower the plants after 20 years.

"This would create an ongoing cycle of construction activity and employment beyond the initial 15-year program outlined here."
