Reeves Plains BESS

Overview

The 250MW Stage 1 BESS forms part of Alinta Energy’s Reeves Plains Energy Hub, approximately 50 minutes drive north of Adelaide. 

The 4-hour Battery Energy Storage System will have the capacity to power around 300,000 households, and will help to stabilise the power grid by storing excess energy for use in high-demand periods. The project will feature approximately 194 battery modules and 87 inverters, as well as electrical connections, substation, water storage, office & control room and vegetated site screening. 

The contract value is approximately $105 million. Genus will engage with circa 100 personnel to complete the Project using significant local content from South Australia.

The Company’s involvement in this landmark project reflects its ongoing partnership with Alinta Energy and Genus’ dedication to being the country’s contractor of choice for complex, high-impact energy solutions.

We're proud to be expanding our footprint in the Battery Energy Storage sector, and reinforcing our commitment to delivering critical infrastructure that powers Australia’s energy future
