Enerdata · last updated

CATL will supply BESS for Edify Energy’s Smoky Creek and Guthrie’s Gap Solar Power Stations in Queensland, Australia, totalling 600 MW of solar capacity and 600 MW/2.4 GWh of battery storage. Edify has already begun early works on the sites and is targeting delivery and operations in 2028.

Located north of Biloela, the Smoky Creek and Guthrie’s Gap Solar Power Stations consist of two independent 300 MW generating units: the Smoky Creek Solar Power Station (SCSPS) and Guthrie’s Gap Solar Power Station (GGSPS), both connecting to the Powerlink network at 275 kV. Once operational, the projects are expected to generate up to 1.6 TWh/year.

The two projects are in a 20-year offtake deal with Rio Tinto for 90% of their output to help power its aluminium smelting and refining operations in nearby Gladstone. They are also supported by agreements with the federal government’s Capacity Investment Scheme.
