Gamuda clinches RM702mil Aussie project

The wind farm will comprise 38 turbines with a generating capacity of 228MW (6MW per turbine).

PETALING JAYA: Gamuda Bhd’s wholly-owned Australian subsidiary, DT Infrastructure Pty Ltd, has bagged a A$243mil or RM702mil contract for the design and construction of the Boulder Creek wind farm project in Queensland.

The award – the first wind farm project for DT Infrastructure – was awarded by equal owners Aula Energy Holdings Pty Ltd and CS Energy Ltd.

In a statement, Gamuda said the construction stage of the project is a continuation of the partnership between DT Infrastructure and Aula Energy, which began with the signing of an early contractor involvement (ECI) agreement in March 2024.The duration of the contract is 32.5 months and work on the project is expected to commence in late 2024, with site activity ramping up from early to mid-2025.

The wind farm will comprise 38 turbines with a generating capacity of 228MW (6MW per turbine).

Located about 40km southwest of Rockhampton in Queensland, the facility is expected to power 85,000 homes once it commences operation in 2027.

The project will bolster Queensland’s efforts to reach its electricity generation target of 70% overall supply from renewables sources by 2032.

“DT Infrastructure has worked with Aula throughout the ECI phase of the Boulder Creek wind farm, which has resulted in an in-depth understanding of the project, location and needs of the community.

“We look forward to drawing on that early contractor knowledge to optimise procurement, construction and delivery practices that will ensure the success of stage one of the project,” added Gamuda.

Gamuda shares ended nine sen higher at RM8.10 on the news yesterday, giving the construction, engineering and property group a market capitalisation of RM22.84bil.
