Monadelphous plugs into $380m contract for Brigalow Peaking Power Plant near Chinchilla in Queensland

Monadelphous has picked up a $380 million contract to build a power plant in Queensland as it taps into more energy transition opportunities. The Perth-based engineering contractor on Friday told investors it had won the job with CS Energy for works associated with the construction of the Brigalow Peaking Power Plant near Chinchilla, east of Brisbane. The contract includes the balance-of-plant construction and installation of 12 gas turbine generator units with a combined capacity of 400 megawatts, together with the engineering and design of minor packages. Work is due to start in the second half of this year and be completed by early 2029. Up to 300 workers are expected at the peak construction period. Once operational, the plant will be capable of delivering energy to more than 150,000 homes during peak electricity demand periods. Monadelphous managing director Zoran Bebic said the award will support Australia’s energy transition. “We are pleased to be partnering with CS Energy on the Brigalow Peaking Power Plant, supporting reliable and flexible energy supply,” Mr Bebic said. “Monadelphous has a proven track record in delivering large-scale energy construction projects and is proud to continue contributing to critical energy infrastructure across Australia.”
