Genex Power

Excited to highlight the ongoing collaboration that is so vital for renewable energy projects to take off, and importantly to be delivered. 🌱 Genex Power recently spent several days with the team from Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility (NAIF), McConnell Dowell and John Holland JV, and @ATW Tony Martens, documenting a key element which makes the Kidston Pumped Storage Hydro Project a leading case study for the sector: a successful and impactful indigenous engagement strategy that’s driving job creation and uplifting local communities in North QLD. 📈 Plus, we captured stunning footage of the above and underground works, and the many boots on the ground - all making this mega project possible. Thank you PhlipVids! Stay tuned for the video 🎥

Global Hydropower Day 2024! 💧🌍 #GlobalHydropowerDay is an annual event, started in 2022, and dedicated to celebrating the role of #hydropower in advancing clean energy and sustainable development worldwide. The day raises awareness about the ongoing innovations and projects in the hydropower sector, promoting engagement between governments, industry leaders, and communities to drive the global energy transition. In collaboration with our stakeholder Clean Energy Council, we are all working together and doing our part for Australia. Genex Power 250MW Kidston Pumped Storage Hydro Project (K2-Hydro) has become a beacon of #innovation and #progress. K2-Hydro stands out for its innovative reuse of existing mining pits, Wises and Eldridge, as its upper and lower reservoirs. With a significant water height difference and the ability to store large volumes of water, the project operates with substantial efficiency. ♻ It can generate an impressive 2,000MWh of electricity per cycle, providing 250MW of power over 8 hours - enough to power over 100,000 homes! Designed to operate for 80 years, K2-Hydro is a cornerstone of the #KidstonCleanEnergyHub, which includes the already operating 50MW Kidston Solar Farm and a wind project in development. 🌞💨 K2-Hydro is contributing to the nation’s energy security whilst boosting regional economies and creating job opportunities.👷♂️ ✨

Exciting Partnership Update! We’re thrilled to announce that Genex Power has strengthened its partnership with Stanwell Corporation Limited through a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for 550MW of capacity from our Bulli Creek Stage 1 Solar Project (BCS)! Here are some key highlights: 🌞 Capacity: Stanwell will purchase 550MW from the 775MW BCS solar project, set to become the largest solar farm in the National Electricity Market. 👷♂️ Jobs: Up to 800 clean energy jobs will be created during the construction phase, which kicks off in early 2025. ⚡ Sustainability: This project is a major step toward Queensland's clean energy future, with the BCS expected to become operational in 2027. ⚙ Operations & Maintenance: A new 5-year contract with Stanwell Asset Maintenance Company (SAMCo) to manage operations for Genex’s 50MW Kidston Solar Farm. 📈 Future Growth: We are also exploring further partnerships with Stanwell to expand our clean energy portfolio. This agreement, securing 71% of the BCS capacity, marks a significant milestone for our project, as we move toward a final investment decision by the end of 2024. ✍ Stay tuned as we continue to drive the transition to renewable energy and create opportunities across Australia!

At Genex Power, we recognise that our projects have a substantial impact on the communities where we develop and build 🌍. That’s why we are committed to being socially responsible and making positive contributions to these areas 🤝. One of the ways we foster an impactful footprint in affected communities is through the promotion of education, training, and career pathways at a grassroots level 🎓. Over the past few weeks, we’ve had the privilege of participating in the Careers for Net Zero roadshow 🚀a collaborative initiative by Clean Energy Council and Energy Efficiency Council! Australia’s clean economy is driving the creation of thousands of exciting career and training opportunities for students, graduates, career changers, and job seekers from all walks of life and backgrounds, especially in regional Queensland. At Genex Power, we were delighted to showcase the work, apprenticeships, and traineeship opportunities tied to the 775MW Bulli Creek Stage 1 Solar Project ☀️, which forms part of the multi-stage Bulli Creek Clean Energy Park, in Toowoomba on August 6th, alongside our preferred EPC contractor, PCL Construction. We then joined our civil works contractor Nacap Pty Ltd Paula P. at the Townsville event on August 14th, focusing on the up to 258MW K3-Wind Project 🌬️, which is part of the Kidston Clean Energy Hub, and the many diverse upcoming roles available! #Careersfornetzero is an excellent networking platform for locals who otherwise may not be aware of the opportunities available to them and can benefit from key insights on how to take the first step forward toward a place in this emerging and purposeful industry! #NetZero #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #CareerOpportunities #CommunityImpact

We are thrilled to be at the forefront of innovation with our flagship pumped storage hydro project, achieving several industry firsts. 🌟 Not only is this the first pumped storage hydro project developed in over 40 years, but it also ingeniously repurposes a disused gold mine into a large-scale water battery. 💧🏗️ We are proud to have set a new benchmark as a business case study in the safe and efficient execution of draw line installation for the project, using Infravision's cutting-edge drone technology! 😱 🚁 Infravision, in collaboration with Powerlink Queensland, has been instrumental in this achievement. Their innovative Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) facilitated the power line stringing over an impressive 186-kilometre transmission line. This line connects the Aurumfield Substation in Kidston to the Guybal Munjan Substation in Mount Fox and will help the hydro project distribute power into the national electricity market. ⚡ In deploying renewable energy projects, we prioritise safety and efficiency above all else. A big thank you to our partners, Powerlink Queensland and Infravision, for their crucial role in bringing this vision to life! 🙌🤝 #RenewableEnergy #Innovation #Sustainability #NetZero #HydroPower #DroneTechnology #EnergyIndustry #IndustryBenchmark #Goals
