Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners has selected GE Vernova to deliver a 250 MW / 1,000 MWh integrated battery energy storage system (BESS) solution for the second phase of the company's Supernode BESS project in Queensland, Australia.

The decision is a repeat award; GE Vernova had earlier this year bagged the contract to supply 250 MW / 500 MWh capacity batteries for the first phase of the Supernode project.

As per the agreement, GE Vernova will be responsible for the supply and commissioning of the power conditioning systems, power plant controller SCADA systems, and capacitor bank / harmonic filter as well as integration engineering and GPS connection support. 

The Supernode project, set in Moreton Bay, Queensland, aims to create a data centre complex and a BESS site of 750 MW across three phases. The site is claimed as the last non-flood prone land adjacent to the South Pine central node. "This proximity helps mitigate marginal loss factor and curtailment risk, offering competitive advantages for Supernode BESS operations," Quinbrook says.

Australia's Origin Energy has already contracted energy from the first two phases of the Supernode project. Greg Jarvis, Origin's head of energy supply and operations, said in a release: "The Supernode offtake will be an important addition to our growing storage portfolio, and reflects our belief that storage will play an important role in helping firm variable renewable energy supply and maintaining secure, reliable energy supply for customers."
