Roaring 40s was an electricity generator formed in 2005 as a joint venture between Hydro Tasmania, Australia and Hong Kong-based China Light & Power (CLP).[1][2]

Roaring 40s had 13 sites in operation or in planning in Australia, India, Hong Kong and mainland China.[3] Cathedral Rocks, Woolnorth, Waterloo Wind Farm and Musselroe are four notable power plants that the company owned.[4] Roaring 40s split in June 2011 with the projects being divided between the two original partners, CLP and Hydro Tasmania.
