Up to 600MW/2,400MWh Bulli Creek Battery Project

Bulli Creek Battery (BCB-2) represents the second phase of the Bulli Creek Clean Energy Park (Energy Park). This project features a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) with a capacity of up to 600MWh and a storage duration of 4 hours, totaling 2,400MWh.

Following the successful commercial operation of Genex’s first BESS at Bouldercombe, the 50MW/100MWh Bouldercombe Battery Project, BCB-2 has built on the technical expertise acquired, furthering the company’s strategy to advance battery storage technology. The project supports grid stability and enhances system strength as renewable energy sources become more prevalent in the supply of power throughout the National Electricity Market.

Subsequent stages of solar and/or battery are proposed to maximise the full 2GW capacity of the Energy Park.

Workers Camp

Genex has submitted its Development Approval to establish a workers’ camp to accommodate staff within the Millmerran township. Pending the required approvals, the camp will be positioned north of the Millmerran Showground. Construction of the camp is anticipated to commence in H1 2025.

Genex is committed to fostering strong community connections by encouraging our entire team to actively support the local economy. When stationed at the Worker’s Camp, our team members will be encouraged to utilise the town’s facilities, shops, and services. By doing so, we aim to contribute to the economic vitality of the community, ensuring that our presence has a positive impact.

The Energy Park aligns with the Queensland Government’s Energy and Jobs Plan and supports the state’s renewable energy target of 70% by 2032.

The Energy Park Stages

The Energy Park is located approximately 45km south-west from the Millmerran township. Access to the Energy Park is proposed along the Gore Highway.

The figure to the right illustrates the indicative layout of the Energy Park and the proposed stages of development.
