Global private investment fund Quinbrook Infrastructure has today announced it has received planning permission to build a $2.5 billion data storage facility in Brendale, Queensland.
Located 30km from Brisbane CBD, the 'Supernode' facility will intersect with the new Torus dark fibre data cable currently under construction, directly connecting the Queensland capital to the global cloud for the first time via the international subsea cable at Maroochydore.
Boasting plans to build one of the largest battery storage installations in the Australian National Electricity Market on-site, the data storage project aims to rely on renewables to simultaneously address high power prices, grid stress and the decarbonisation of the Sunshine State’s power supply.
