Overview
Genus has been awarded a contract by ACCIONA Energía for the Aldoga 275kV Solar Farm Substation design and construction works in Queensland, worth approximately $40 million.
Located around 20 km northwest of the city of Gladstone in central Queensland, the Aldoga Solar Farm development and its 275kV Substation will be a flagship renewable energy project built on land leased from Economic Development Queensland; as part of the Queensland Government’s aim to increase renewable energy supply, generate jobs and support economic growth for the future.
The substantial scale of this project will contribute significantly to the Queensland Government’s target of achieving 50 per cent renewable energy by 2030. ACCIONA Energia will build, own, and operate the Aldoga Solar Farm and 275kV Substation.
Genus will engage around 70 personnel to complete the project using significant local content from regional Queensland - as we undertake the detailed design, procurement, installation and associated civil works.
