Queensland Reaches Major Milestone for Borumba Pumped Hydro Project

The Borumba Pumped Hydro Project has taken a significant step forward, with three major works packages worth nearly $190 million awarded to local companies. Once completed, the 2,000MW renewable energy storage system will play a critical role in Queensland’s transition to clean energy.

The Water2Wire Joint Venture (JV) secured a $40 million contract to lead the design and engineering of seven new dams, which will form the project's upper and lower reservoirs. Additionally, AFRY-Aurecon JV received a $39.9 million package to focus on front-end engineering design for the pumped hydro scheme, ensuring optimal operation between turbines, tunnels, and reservoirs. A further $111 million contract was awarded to Decmil for the construction of temporary workers' camps.

This milestone supports Queensland's renewable energy goals while creating thousands of jobs and promoting regional development. Queensland Minister for Energy, Mick de Brenni, highlighted the project’s importance, stating that it will provide cheaper, cleaner, and more secure electricity for the state.
