HIGHLIGHTS
HY2024 Highlights
Operational
-
A strong half year, as Genus continues to expand geographically and across all operational sectors – as we increasingly demonstrate our capacity to deliver complex, flagship projects across Australia which will be critical in realising the nation’s energy transition ambitions.
-
Genus continues to see strong growth in the Battery Energy Storage market, with major projects in this space underway and more in the pipeline as part of our group strategy.
-
Awarded a contract in JV with ACCIONA to deliver part of Transgrid’s $3.3 billion HumeLink 500kV Transmission Project in NSW, and continuing to deliver infrastructure works with existing clients including FMG and Rio Tinto. The award of HumeLink marks a step-change for Genus - and it is testament to the decades of hard-won progress that we now participate in projects of this magnitude.
-
Growth in East Coast revenue as a percentage of total revenue is expected to continue, having grown from 34% in FY2023 to 35% in HY2024.
Strategic
-
Significant investment has been put into growing the east coast presence of Genus to be positioned for the substantial investment required to the power network over the next 10-20 years. HumeLink is a high-profile example of this strategy’s success.
-
As with HumeLink, Genus will focus on taking a disciplined and conservative approach to contract terms for larger scale and major projects.
-
Genus’ East Coast footprint continues to gather pace with a new Victoria-based Infrastructure team - we welcome the Prasinus Energy Team to the wider Genus Family.
-
Milestone award of the globally significant Melbourne Renewable Energy Hub (in JV with Samsung C&T Australia) firmly establishes Genus in the Battery Energy Storage space; on the back of winning the Kwinana Battery Stage 2 Project in WA.
-
Genus Communications’ 3-year Master Module Agreement with nbn enables Genus to take advantage of the large ongoing spend in the communications industry. Our N2P Project and broader communications teams continue to perform well across the country.
-
The Group is focused on replicating its Western Australian business model into the larger east coast market which is dependent on the Group’s ability to continue to grow the new operations or execute and integrate further strategic bolt-on acquisitions. Growth in our QLD, NSW, TAS & VIC operations across all sectors is proof-positive.
-
Ongoing focus on continuing to develop relationships with mining companies and utilities to provide opportunities for renewable energy adoption across Australia, augmenting our strong WA Pipeline.

Connecting the Future – Infrastructure
-
The Federal Government $20 billion Rewiring the Nation Plan is designed to ensure the transmission infrastructure is funded and delivered.
-
Replacement dispatchable capacity of 47 GW from battery and hydro storage is required to firm renewable energy sources as coal-fired generation is phased out by 2050. The system currently has 23 GW of coal-fired generation capacity.
-
Queensland’s SuperGrid Infrastructure Blueprint represents around $62 billion of industry wide capital investment in the energy system. This investment is over a timeframe of around 15 years involving both Government and the private sector.
-
The Western Australia South West Interconnected System Demand
-
Assessment’s 'Future Ready' scenario shows peak demand would almost triple by 2042, requiring an additional 4,000km of transmission capacity.
-
Transmission & Distribution form part of our service offering and will continue to be a major contributor to the coming decades of growth. Genus is wellpositioned to deliver.

With Genus’ completion of Synergy’s Kwinana BESS 1 project and stage 2 now well underway – in addition to Victoria’s MREH BESS - Genus has a platform to build a significant pipeline of EPC opportunities greater than 100MW.
-
The growth that Genus is seeing in BESS opportunities aligns with Australia’s current target to reduce its domestic emissions by 43 percent on 2005 levels by 2030.
-
In the E&I space, there are significant opportunities emerging from Australia’s mining, resources & energy sector especially in the new energy economy.
-
Hydrogen, ammonia, and carbon capture & storage (CCS) projects account for $303 billion.
-
With this expanded scope, the total value of projects in the investment pipeline is at $705 billion.

Market Snapshot: Battery Storage
-
Analysis from Wood MacKenzie finds that Australia leads the global market for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), with the total pipeline of announced projects now exceeding 40GW
-
Driven by competitive wholesale and frequency control markets offering diverse revenue streams for battery storage - and significant funding from the Australian government providing revenue certainty to storage projects - a 28% increase is expected in Australia’s battery storage capacity from now until 2032
-
According to Rystad Energy, 2024 is set to be the first year in which the capacity of new utility scale batteries starting construction in Australia exceeds the combined capacity of new wind and solar farms breaking ground
