Construction on Stage 1 of our Tarong Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is nearing the finish the line, as Tesla technicians have commenced commissioning of the first 82 lithium-ion Megapack units. Meanwhile, construction on Stage 2 is progressing smoothly, with all high-voltage cabling now installed. The 300 MW, two-hour duration Tarong BESS is the first battery energy storage asset in Stanwell’s renewable energy portfolio, and is on track to commence operations in mid-2025. Once operational, the battery will soak up energy generated during the day and then discharge electricity into the grid during periods of low energy generation or peak demand. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to advance this transformative project, or visit our website to find out more about our energy storage projects: https://bit.ly/3YKPHVj

🚀H2GP Kicks off at Gladstone State High School with an all boys and all girls team. This year, Gladstone State High School will compete in H2GP for the third time, as part of their STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) program. 👏 Their task is to design, engineer and build a hydrogen fuel cell-powered remote-control car and test it during a 4-hour race. Students are free to experiment with 3D design – updating the gear-to-wheel ratio, car weight distribution, or even designing the entire chassis with digital modelling software. 🏎️ Stanwell is a major sponsor for this event - delivered by Horizon Educational - and, as mentors, will support these clever kids throughout their project journey, inspiring the future of Gladstone by introducing them to the renewables industry. Together, we will race towards a clean energy future. Thanks to the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning and CQUniversity. #H2GP #STEMEducation #Innovation #SustainableEnergy #Stanwell #GHSRacing #H2GrandPrix

🌟 Stanwell at CQU's Business and Accounting Industry Insights Evening 🌟 Last week, Sue Hall and Rachael Wright-Coxon proudly represented Stanwell at Central Queensland University's Business and Accounting Industry Insights Evening. 🎓✨ The event aimed to introduce local Year 10 students with a passion for business and accounting to industry professionals. Sue and Rach, equipped with their presentation and hardhats, enthusiastically shared their love for Accounting and highlighted Stanwell as an excellent place for future employment, graduate programs, or work experience. 💼👷♀️ This was a fantastic opportunity to connect with the university, the next generation of accountants, and fellow professionals in the Rockhampton Region. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive! Kudos to Sue and Rach for their outstanding representation! 👏👏 #Stanwell #Accounting #FuturePathways #CQUniversity #RockhamptonRegion #IndustryInsights

We’re proud to see the Department of Energy and Climate shining the spotlight on Stanwell’s very own Luke Sondergeld! One of our dedicated Health and Safety Advisors in our Operations Division, Luke’s work helps to ensure Queensland’s energy production remains among the safest and cleanest in the nation. Luke’s expertise is also instrumental in adapting safety standards for Stanwell’s renewable energy projects. In an industry undergoing rapid transformation, Luke’s role is crucial in developing industry-leading standards that will protect workers and help Queensland move towards our clean energy future.

🔋🚀 Project Update: Charging Ahead with Energy Storage! 🚀🔋 We're making great progress on our 1200 MWh Stanwell Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). Over the past two months, a massive 100,000 tonnes of soil have been delivered to the battery site inside the Stanwell Power Station precinct from the nearby National Quarries Stanwell. Yurika and Aurum Contracting have been hard at work, spreading, leveling and compacting the site, which is now primed for the next phase—pouring the concrete slabs and laying the foundations for our battery storage units. 🏗️ Stanwell BESS is the largest committed battery project in Queensland and is pivotal to Stanwell’s energy transformation journey. Once operational in 2027, we’ll be able store up to 300 MW of clean, renewable energy and discharge it back into the grid for up to four hours when Queensland needs it – anytime, day or night.

Building the skills we’ll need for our clean energy future starts early. That’s why we’ve teamed up with CQUniversity and ACCIONA AU & NZ to create online micro-credential programs for secondary school students. These programs, developed throughout 2023/24, are designed to equip students with the STEM skills they’ll need to thrive in the emerging hydrogen industry. By fostering strong industry-school connections, we’re not just preparing students for the workforce – we’re ensuring that our communities and future generations are ready to benefit from Queensland’s clean energy future. Together, we’re fuelling a brighter, more sustainable tomorrow: https://lnkd.in/g-YmwAwZ

#ICYMI Stanwell recently joined Squadron Energy to mark an important milestone at its Clarke Creek Wind Farm in Central Queensland. 50 wind turbines have been installed, which means there are only 50 to go! Stanwell will purchase more than 75 per cent of the 450MW of clean energy it will produce for our customers, including Brisbane Airport Corporation and Anglo American, helping them to become more energy efficient. #windenergy #cleanenergygeneration

Bec Manley, Business Growth Manager for the Stanwell Asset Maintenance Company (SAMCo), has just one piece of advice for people considering a career in renewables: Take the leap! “I took a risk moving out of my comfort zone and it has well and truly paid off,” she says. “I’m working with great people, on awesome projects, and learning more every day. The opportunities in this sector are ripe for the picking for anyone bold enough to ask for a shot.” Read more about Bec’s inspiring journey from sports journo to strategist: https://lnkd.in/grUHCZBX

👷♂️ Meet Wayne Brown, General Foreman at Fulton Hogan, responsible for keeping the concrete flowing at Wambo Wind Farm! 🌬️💪 Wayne and his team are hard at work pouring the foundations that will power Queensland’s future with clean energy. Each base requires around 1000 cubic metres of concrete, and the crew works tirelessly to make sure every pour is perfect. Wayne’s passion? Passing on his knowledge to the next generation and connecting people to the renewable energy journey. "People ask me all the time what goes on here, and I love explaining the work we do to bring these massive projects to life." 💡 With Stage Two construction now underway and more turbines on the horizon, Wayne’s work is laying the foundation (literally!) for Queensland’s renewable future. ⚡ Check out the video to see how this massive project is taking shape, one concrete pour at a time! 🎥 by Clean Energy Council
