GenusPlus Group Ltd (ASX: GNP) has been selected by Alinta Energy to complete delivery of the company's 100MW/200MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Western Australia. The battery will be located at the Wagerup Power Station in WA's South West and will connect to existing high voltage infrastructure to help stabilise the SWIS and provide backup capacity when needed. Genus will undertake the remaining project works to complete the construction and commissioning associated with the Balance of Plant Works, with the completion contract having a value of approximately $50 million. Genus will engage around 100 personnel to complete the project using significant local content from Western Australia.
