GenusPlus and joint venture partners selected as Preferred Proponent to deliver HumeLink East
HIGHLIGHTS:

Genus in joint venture with ACCIONA and Kalpataru Power Transmission have been selected as Preferred Proponent to design and construct Transgrid’s HumeLink East project

HumeLink is a new 500kV transmission line in Southern NSW
National essential power and communications infrastructure provider GenusPlus Group Ltd (ASX: GNP) (GenusPlus, or the Company) has been selected as Preferred Proponent to deliver Transgrid’s HumeLink Transmission Project, in joint venture with ACCIONA and Kalpataru Power Transmission.
HumeLink will help secure renewable energy supply for millions of Australians as ageing coal-fired power stations are retired.
The contract with Transgrid and the terms of the joint venture agreement are still to be finalised. The value of the project will be determined post conclusion of the Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) Stage 2 process.
David Riches, Managing Director, said “It is an exciting moment for Genus and partners, to be named preferred contractor for HumeLink East. Genus is extremely proud to be entrusted to deliver a nationally significant infrastructure project alongside our partners ACCIONA and Kalpataru Power Transmission.
“This is a breakthrough project for Genus as we cement ourselves as a truly national business capable of delivering critical projects linked with Australia’s renewable energy transition.
“Our national growth strategy has always been focused on embedding the fundamental values which have made this business so successful from day one; by putting our people first while always delivering for our customers no matter the conditions. As we undertake a project of this size, our approach remains the same.
“I am particularly proud of our workforce who have remained resilient through constantly changing conditions. Their focus on delivering for our customers while improving profitability safely and sustainably is what sets Genus apart.”
HumeLink is a project of national significance. It is one of New South Wales’s largest energy infrastructure projects connecting Wagga Wagga, Bannaby and Maragle and includes new and upgraded infrastructure at four substation locations.
The HumeLink East section will include the delivery of a new transmission line between Bannaby substation and the Interface Point, including augmentation of existing Bannaby substation.
GenusPlus is honoured to collaborate with Transgrid and joint venture partners to help lead the transition to Australia’s clean energy future.
The Board of the Company has authorised the release of this announcement to the market.
