Smoky Creek and Guthrie’s Gap
Backed by deep engineering expertise, we deliver critical infrastructure, from metros, roads and bridges to advanced water treatment, connecting communities and supporting a more resilient future.
Largest Solar and Battery Hybrid Projects in Construction in Australia
Located near Biloela on the traditional lands of the Gaangalu Nation People, a landmark development is set to actively accelerate Australia’s renewable energy transition. DT Infrastructure will deliver the Smoky Creek and Guthrie’s Gap Solar Power Stations in Central Queensland, Australia, which is a project under Edify Energy.
Representing a monumental total contract sum of RM3.12 billion (AUD1.1 billion), this dual-site development fundamentally reinforces our growing, strategic role in delivering the large-scale sustainable energy infrastructure required to decarbonise the national grid.
Engineering a Resilient Renewable Grid
Executing one of Queensland’s most significant renewable energy developments requires a comprehensive, end-to-end approach. Targeted for completion by the end of 2028, DT Infrastructure is managing the full project lifecycle, delivering the design, engineering, procurement, construction, testing and commissioning works, alongside ongoing operations and maintenance (O&M) services to ensure long-term asset reliability.
Our technical scope includes:
This infrastructure is meticulously designed to do far more than simply generate power; it is engineered to sustain the region's industrial future while driving green ambitions.
Once fully operational, these power stations are expected to generate an immense 1,589,000 MWh of renewable energy annually. This consistent output will supply reliable, clean power directly to the regional network, crucially support Rio Tinto’s long-term industrial energy requirements, and make a significant contribution to Queensland’s broader decarbonisation targets.
