Genex Power has opened procurement for 775 MW AC solar PV capacity as part of the Bulli Creek Clean Energy Park
PLC Construction, as the EPC contractor, seeks suppliers for modules, trackers, piles and more
Equipped with more than 1.5 million bifacial solar modules, it is touted to become the largest solar farm in the Southern Hemisphere on completion
Australian renewable energy generation and storage company Genex Power has opened a procurement call for 960 MW DC/775 MW AC solar PV capacity for Bulli Creek Solar (BCS), which forms phase I of the 2 GW Bulli Creek Clean Energy Park in Queensland.
Genex has appointed PCL Construction as the EPC contractor for this facility that, on completion, will become the ‘largest’ solar farm in the Southern Hemisphere. PCL has finalized the procurement packages for the 775 MW project for which it now seeks goods and services supply.
It will be equipped with over 1.5 million bifacial solar modules, distributed across more than 14,000 independent rows, requiring well over 204,000 steel foundation piles. The call is open for the supply of solar modules, inverters, solar trackers, and piles, among other supplies and works.
The project is scheduled to come online in H2 CY2027. Phase 2 of the project will also include up to 400 MW/1,600 MWh/4-hour storage.
Interested companies can register on the ICN gateway to be considered for the supply works for the project.
Queensland’s state-utility Stanwell Corporation is the offtaker for 550 MW of the 775 MW capacity (see 15-Year Offtake Agreement For 775 MW PV Project In Australia).
Genex Power acquired the BCS project from Solar Choice in August 2022 (see 2 GW Solar & Storage Project Changes Hands).
