Overview
- APA will take an 80% stake and lead delivery, while state-owned CS Energy retains 20% and will operate the plant under the Joint Development Agreement.
- GE Vernova has been selected to supply the gas turbines, with final capital expenditure to be set after detailed engineering in early 2026.
- APA plans a 25-year hedge offtake with CS Energy to secure inflation-linked revenue and limit wholesale market exposure.
- The project targets a 2028 start and remains subject to government and environmental approvals as well as execution of long-form contracts.
- The plant will connect to APA’s Roma–Brisbane Pipeline via a new lateral covered by a July 2025 transport and storage agreement, with APA funding early works from existing balance-sheet capacity within its A$2.1 billion growth pipeline.
