$569 million. 1.2GWh of battery storage. More than $450 million expected through regional communities and supply chains. Now the projects have financial close and DT Infrastructure has Notices to Proceed.
Edify Energy’s Ganymirra and Majors Creek solar and battery hybrid projects near Townsville have moved decisively from development toward physical delivery.
DT Infrastructure has secured the two Engineering, Procurement and Construction contracts, with a reported combined value of approximately A$569 million.
Together, the projects will deliver 360MWp of solar generation and a 300MW / 1,200MWh battery energy storage system, supported by a new substation and associated transmission connection infrastructure.
The projects have now passed several major commercial gates. Financial close has been reached, Notices to Proceed have been issued and major construction is expected to commence in Q3 2026.
That combination materially changes the commercial position of the projects.
DT Infrastructure had already been selected as preferred EPC contractor earlier in 2026, while engineering and pre-construction work was underway.
The latest developments move the projects beyond preferred-contractor status and into committed EPC delivery.
Gamuda’s Australian subsidiary DT Infrastructure has entered two separate EPC contracts covering Ganymirra and Majors Creek.
Reporting from Gamuda’s market disclosure places each contract at approximately A$284.53 million, giving a combined value of approximately A$569 million.
This is the value of the two DT Infrastructure EPC contracts — not the total value of every financing facility, future adjacent battery project or wider Edify portfolio investment.
The financing milestone moves the projects deeper into delivery
Financial close is a materially stronger commercial milestone than development approval or preferred-contractor selection alone.
It confirms the financing arrangements required to support project delivery have been completed, while DT Infrastructure’s Notices to Proceed allow EPC execution to advance.
Edify says a syndicate of 14 domestic and international lenders supports its broader renewable-energy financing platform.
Ganymirra and Majors Creek combine solar, storage and grid infrastructure
The Ganymirra and Majors Creek projects are being delivered as integrated hybrid energy assets rather than conventional standalone solar farms.
Together they combine 360MWp of photovoltaic generation with 300MW / 1,200MWh of lithium-ion battery storage.
The projects use reverse DC-coupled architecture, allowing solar and battery systems to operate behind a common set of grid-forming inverters.
DT Infrastructure’s announced project scope also includes a new substation and associated transmission connection infrastructure.
That makes this materially more complex than simply installing solar modules and battery containers.
The core delivery team is now defined
Edify identifies DT Infrastructure as the EPC contractor, CATL as battery supplier and Powerlink as the head contractor for network and connection works.
The named delivery participants also provide greater clarity on where future procurement and subcontracting interfaces may sit.
Important: these are not the same scope as the additional 2GWh CIS Tender 8 batteries
The projects reaching financial close in August combine 360MWp of solar generation with a total 300MW / 1,200MWh integrated battery system.
Separately, Edify was selected under Capacity Investment Scheme Tender 8 in June 2026 for the Ganymirra Energy Storage System and Majors Creek Energy Storage System — two additional 250MW / 1,000MWh batteries.
Those newer batteries total another 500MW / 2,000MWh and are proposed to be built adjacent to the hybrid solar/BESS plants.
The separate Tender 8 battery selections are covered in BBI’s broader Queensland battery-project pipeline analysis .
The August financial-close milestone covered here relates specifically to the original Ganymirra and Majors Creek hybrid power stations, including Notices to Proceed and approximately $569 million of DT Infrastructure EPC contracts.
Major construction is expected in Q3 2026
DT Infrastructure says early engineering and pre-construction activities are already underway.
Major construction is expected to commence during the third quarter of 2026, creating the next visible project milestone.
Gamuda’s market disclosure indicates the EPC delivery period extends through to January 2029.
Solar and battery EPC creates a broad physical construction program
Large hybrid renewable projects require much more than the supply of solar modules and battery units.
Before the assets can operate, DT Infrastructure must integrate civil works, solar infrastructure, battery systems, electrical balance of plant, substations, network interfaces, controls and commissioning.
The fact that the projects are being built as integrated DC-coupled hybrid assets adds further electrical and controls complexity.
$450M+ regional-flow expectation places major focus on local procurement
Edify expects approximately 400 local construction jobs and says more than $450 million should flow into local communities through regional supply chains, local employment, First Nations businesses and associated economic activity.
This represents a significant regional-supply-chain commitment for a major North Queensland energy development.
DT Infrastructure operates a digital procurement system for sourcing, contracting and managing vendors, contractors and consultants.
The company states that supplier sourcing and management is handled through SAP Ariba and provides an online registration pathway for businesses interested in joining its procurement platform.
With more than $450 million expected to flow through regional communities and supply chains across the Ganymirra and Majors Creek development, North Queensland businesses should ensure their supplier information, insurances, capability documentation and compliance records are ready before relevant packages are released.
More than $450M is expected to flow through regional communities
Edify’s regional commitment extends beyond direct construction employment.
The developer identifies local procurement, First Nations participation, workforce capability, local employment and associated regional economic activity as core benefit-sharing pathways.
For Townsville-region contractors, the regional commitment adds a substantial local procurement and workforce dimension to the project’s overall scale.
The projects have now moved through the key commercial gates
DT Infrastructure now has two major Edify EPC programs underway in Queensland
The award strengthens an existing relationship between DT Infrastructure and Edify Energy.
DT Infrastructure is also delivering Edify’s much larger Smoky Creek and Guthrie’s Gap solar and battery program near Biloela.
That Central Queensland development combines 720MWp of solar and 600MW / 2,400MWh of battery storage under an approximately $1.1 billion DT Infrastructure EPC program.
The addition of Ganymirra and Majors Creek therefore gives DT Infrastructure a substantial active renewable-energy order book across both Central and North Queensland.
Financial close and Notices to Proceed move the projects into committed delivery
Earlier project milestones established Capacity Investment Scheme support and identified DT Infrastructure as the preferred EPC contractor.
The August 2026 developments add financial close, executed EPC commitments and Notices to Proceed, providing substantially greater visibility on the delivery pathway ahead of expected major construction.

$569M of EPC work is now moving toward major construction
The approximately $569 million figure represents the reported combined value of DT Infrastructure’s two EPC contracts, providing a defined measure of the committed construction scope.
DT Infrastructure now has two contracts, Notices to Proceed and a defined delivery role across solar, battery and associated infrastructure.
Edify has reached financial close, CATL is identified as battery supplier and Powerlink has responsibility for network and connection works.
The regional dimension is also significant: around 400 construction jobs and more than $450 million are expected to flow through regional communities and supply chains.
Relevant capability spans civil works, electrical construction, substations, logistics, plant hire, security, fire systems, workforce support and commissioning.
The next major commercial focus is the structure and timing of remaining supply-chain packages as major construction ramps up.
