Genex has entered into an early contractor involvement (ECI) agreement with PCL Construction to progress the first stage of Bulli Creek Clean Energy Park in Queensland. The reconfigured project will comprise a 300 MW solar farm and 425 MW / 1,700 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS), with a final investment decision targeted for early 2028.

At Genex, we believe that building a sustainable future goes beyond renewable energy—it’s about fostering vibrant, thriving communities. We are thrilled to share two significant milestones that reflect our long-term commitment to the Queensland region and the evolution of our clean energy portfolio.

Kidston Pumped Storage Hydro Project is Australia’s first private pumped hydro scheme. Craig Francis, Chief Executive Officer at Genex Power, believes it provides a blueprint for transforming legacy sites into modern energy infrastructure, setting a new standard for Australia’s clean energy future.

The 2GWh Kidston Pumped Hydro Project has been officially registered in AEMO’s Market Management System, marking the first pumped hydro facility to enter Australia’s National Electricity Market in almost 40 years. Developed by Genex Power, the Queensland-based project will provide up to 250MW of generation and pumping capacity, strengthening Australia’s long-duration energy storage capability and supporting grid stability as coal-fired generation retires.

In the interview, Nikki, president, Millmerran Commerce and Progress Association, discusses the potential implications of Genex’s Bulli Creek solar farm project for the Millmerran community.

Toowoomba council has approved a proposal to build accommodation hosting up to 800 workers to deliver a nearby solar farm, but questions remain about how the builder will offset its impact on the community.

Genex Power has renamed and reconfigured its 258MW Kidston Wind Project, reducing the size of the wind farm component to 120MW and adding a 150MW/600MWh BESS.

Genex Power sheds light on the progress of its Kidston Hybrid Project.

ABC North Queensland Radio interviews Craig Francis, Genex CEO, on the upcoming Kidston Hybrid Roadshow as one of the first community initiatives providing the community with an opportunity to join in the conversation on the newly reconfigured wind plus BESS project.
