Regional engineering and construction group Gamuda Berhad (Gamuda), through its wholly-owned subsidiary in Australia, DT Infrastructure, has been appointed by Edify Energy to deliver the Smoky Creek and Guthrie’s Gap Solar Power Stations in Central Queensland, Australia, with a contract value of RM3.12 billion (AUD1.1 billion). The projects, which are the largest solar and battery hybrid projects in construction in Australia, will include 720MW of solar and 600MW/2,400MWh of battery energy storage system (BESS).
With the two projects awarded as Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contracts, the scope of works includes the design, procurement, construction, testing and commissioning of the solar generation, BESS and associated balance of plant infrastructure.
DT Infrastructure will also provide ongoing operations and maintenance services for both assets following completion, supporting long-term asset performance and reliability.
The contract duration for both projects is two years and five months each.
This milestone was followed by Gamuda’s recent announcement in early May, where DT Infrastructure was appointed to deliver the 75MW Jinbi Solar Farm in Western Australia’s Pilbara region. In addition, other key projects under DT Infrastructure include Stage 1 of Marinus Link, a major undersea and underground electricity and data interconnector between Tasmania and Victoria; the 585MW Goulburn River Solar Farm coupled with 49 MW/562 MWh BESS, the 228MW Boulder Creek Wind Farm and 256MW Carmody’s Hill Wind Farm.
Gamuda contributes strong regional expertise in large-scale infrastructure development and project execution with a 4-gigawatt renewable energy pipeline spanning large-scale solar, wind, hydro and battery storage projects to support long-term energy and water security in Malaysia and Australia.
