A diverse renewable energy base

Genex Power Limited is an Australian-based public company focused on developing a diverse portfolio of renewable energy generation and storage projects in Australia. Our operations span Queensland and New South Wales, encompassing large-scale batteries, pumped storage hydro, wind, and solar energy solutions. As of 31 July 2024, Genex is a wholly owned subsidiary of Electric Power Development Co., Ltd (J-POWER).

Our flagship project, the Kidston Clean Energy Hub in North Queensland, represents the co-location of solar, pumped storage hydro, and wind energy on a large scale. It includes the 50MW Stage 1 Solar Project, which is already operational, the 250MW/2,000MWh Kidston Pumped Storage Hydro Project currently under construction, and the up to 258MW Kidston Wind Project in development. Genex also has a 50MW/100MWh operational battery energy storage system (BESS) at Bouldercombe in central Queensland and a 50MW operating solar farm at Jemalong in central west NSW.

In line with our growth strategy, we are expanding our dynamic portfolio with the Bulli Creek Clean Energy Park, located 45km southwest of Millmerran, Queensland. This multi-stage development aims to achieve up to 2 GW of large-scale solar and BESS capacity.

Genex is focused on delivering its portfolio of renewable energy generation and storage projects

Genex’s Kidston Pumped Storage Hydro Project (K2-Hydro) is the first pumped hydro project to be developed in over 40 years in Australia. K2-Hydro is currently under construction and is expected to be operational in 2025. Genex’s first standalone, large-scale battery energy storage project is its 50MW/100MWh Bouldercombe Battery Project (BBP), located in Rockhampton Queensland, and has been operating since November 2023. Genex is continuing to further expand its battery strategy via its pipeline opportunities comprising of the development of its up to 2GW multi-stage Bulli Creek Clean Energy Project which will be a renewable energy and storage powerhouse of large-scale BESS and solar, as well as the BBP 2 Project at 50MW/100MWh.

With over 2.25GW of renewable energy & storage projects in development, Genex is well placed as Australia’s leading renewable energy and storage company.

The History of the Kidston Township

The township of Kidston was developed on the west bank of the Copperfield River after the official discovery of gold in 1907, leading to a rich period in Kidston’s history, initially known as the Oaks Rush. The town grew significantly overnight, with many miners and prospectors flooding in from all parts of the north to try their luck. The field proved to be rich and over the next three years an estimated 622,000 grams of gold had been mined. By May 1908, there were 1400 people residing at Oaks Rush and an estimated 430,000g of gold had been won.

The Oaks Rush Goldfield continued mining up until 1945 when it shut its doors only to reopen again in 1979 when Kidston Gold Mines applied to the Queensland Government to start full production again. Mining continued from 1985 until it was permanently closed in 2001.

After being a mining community for a century, Kidston is undergoing a monumental transformation with a new lease on life. The two large disused pits that made up the old gold mine are being converted into a world-first pumped storage hydro project, utilising an abandoned gold mine. The Kidston Pumped Storage Hydro Project is the first of its kind to be developed in Australia in over 40 years, combined with multi-stage solar and wind renewable energy assets underpinning the Kidston Clean Energy Hub.

Genex will use its core competencies of project identification, execution, partner relations and knowledge of the Australian energy markets to continue to drive growth
