Brendale BESS
The Brendale BESS project in Brisbane’s outer suburbs is a renewable energy initiative under development, targeting 205 MW / 410 MWh capacity. It supports Queensland’s Renewable Energy Targets by providing reliable, affordable clean energy and ancillary services to the National Electricity Market (NEM), such as Energy Arbitrage and Frequency Control Ancillary Services (FCAS).

Overview
The project aims to lower electricity costs in Queensland. The wind farm network includes 46,000 meters of buried 3 core aluminium XLPE cable connecting turbines to the substation. Operations are set to start in 2025.
A 200MW BESS facility that utilises the Tesla Megapack 2XL technology and will connect to the H002 Southpine substation (operated by PLQ) at a voltage of 110kV.
CPP Scope of works
CPP is responsible for a comprehensive scope of services for the Brendale 205 MW / 410 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Brendale, Queensland. This includes balance of plant (BoP) engineering encompassing design of product drawings, electrical systems, civil works, and geotechnical investigations. We are also tasked with BoP procurement, acquiring materials such as transformers, switchgear, and control room equipment.
During construction, CPP will oversee installation of BESS and PCS equipment, site security, temporary facilities, civil works, utilities installation, and environmental approvals. They will manage project planning, emergency protocols, equipment maintenance, and ensure all installations meet specified standards and codes.
