Genex modifies Bulli Creek Stage 1 in Australia: Adds 1.7 GWh BESS, cuts solar to 300 MW
Sydney-headquartered renewable energy developer and 100% subsidiary of Japanese utility J-Power-owned Genex has announced plans to reconfigure the first stage of its 2.5 GW Bulli Creek multi-stage development in Queensland, from a 775 MW solar farm to 300 MW, adding a 425 MW / 1.7 GWh battery energy storage system (BESS).
Located 275 kilometers west of Brisbane, the Bulli Creek Clean Energy Park Stage 1 (BC1) hybrid development is scheduled for construction kick-off in 2028, and likely to be a blueprint for the following three stages, the company said.

Genex chief executive Craig Francis said a review of the project has delayed progress but the Millmerran community and stakeholders remain committed, standing to also benefit from community funding and related initiatives.
“We are pleased to have reached this juncture with BC1 and look forward to working with the local community and our project stakeholders as we get on with the delivery of the project, with the objective to rapidly progress all workstreams ahead of a final investment decision as early as possible in CY2028,” Francis confirmed.
