Sydney-based renewable energy developer Genex has announced plans to reconfigure the first phase of its 2.5 GW Bulli Creek multi-phase development in Queensland, Australia, from a 775 MW solar farm to 300 MW, with the addition of a 425 MW/1.7 GWh BESS.
The Bulli Creek Clean Energy Park Phase 1 (BC1) hybrid The development, located 275km west of Brisbane, is expected to start in 2028 and is likely to provide a blueprint for the next three phases, the company said.
Genex Chief Executive Craig Francis said a review of the project has slowed progress, but the Millmerran community and stakeholders remain involved and can also benefit from community funding and related initiatives.
The company has also unconditionally committed AUD 500,000 ($363,000) for the redevelopment of a community hub in Millmerran to create a green ‘civic place’ link to the city centre, with funding now available to start construction once fully approved.
Toowoomba Region Mayor Geoff McDonald said Genex’s support has been instrumental in bringing the project to life and highlights what can be achieved when industry, community groups and the council work together for the benefit of the region.
