Cimic Group CEO Michael Wright said: “Securing preferred EPC contractor status reflects UGL’s depth of experience and expertise in the renewable energy sector and our commitment to our partnership with Genex.”

UGL and Genex have signed an exclusive early contractor involvement (ECI) agreement, which will help the companies push forward with project development, complete final design optimisation, and minimise cost through value engineering and risk workshops.

“The 50MW Phase I of the Kidston solar project is located on the Kidston Gold Mine site approximately 270km north west of Townsville.”

UGL managing director Jason Spears said: “UGL has a proven track record in the design and delivery of solar farms.

“Partnering with Genex to deliver the first Kidston solar project demonstrates UGL’s in-house engineering capability, innovative construction techniques and ability to provide a fully wrapped EPC solution, all of which we will apply to the Kidston stage two solar project.
