Queensland Hydro picks contractors for 2-GW pumped storage project
Sep 18, 2024 6:05 CESTThe Australian subsidiary of Spanish utility Iberdrola SA (BME:IBE) has commenced the construction of its first project in the state of Queensland – the 376-MW Broadsound solar farm with its 180-MW co-located battery.
Iberdrola Australia is building the two facilities at Clarke Creek, about two hours north-west from Rockhampton and on the land of the Barada Kabalbara Yetimarala (BKY) People. The company expects the construction phase of the project to create up to 350 jobs and to be completed in mid-2026.
The Broadsound solar farm's capacity is given in direct current (DC). In turn, the associated battery will be able to store electricity for two hours.
“With more than 20 years experience working in Australian communities we’re looking forward to this big step into the Queensland market and adding to our 1.7 GW of energy assets in operation across the country,” stated Iberdrola Australia’s CEO and Chairman, Ross Rolfe AO.
