Arup has been awarded the role of Owners Engineer on Stage 1 of the Bulli Creek Solar Project which is set to become the largest grid-connected solar farm in Australia once in operation.
Last updated: May 2024
Renewable energy and storage developer, Genex, is developing the multi-stage development project of up to 2GW of large-scale solar and battery energy storage system capacity, located approximately 45km south-west of Millmerran in Queensland.
The Bulli Creek Clean Energy Park covers an area of ~5,000ha and is adjacent to Powerlink’s 330kV Bulli Creek Substation. The site crucially has ample grid connection capacity, strong projected marginal loss factors, and serves as the connection point for the Queensland-NSW Interconnector (QNI).
A global multidisciplinary firm dedicated to shaping a better world, Arup’s project team brings together extensive expertise in renewable energy as well as civil, geotechnical, planning and environmental experience in major infrastructure projects.
We’re excited to be working with Genex on developing vital infrastructure for supporting Australia’s energy transition. Arup’s energy business is focussed on developing and growing the technology systems of the future and contributing to more rapid decarbonisation. The Bulli Creek Solar Project embodies our commitment to creating the energy supply chains that will power a net zero world.
