CATL and Quinbrook Build on Supernode Partnership Following Stage 2 and Stage 3 Major Milestones
The campus will reach 780 MW across its first three stages, with Stage 3 backed by A$469 million in debt financing.
- On Saturday, August 15, 2026, Quinbrook announced its Supernode battery project in Brendale, Australia, reached commercial operation for Stage 2 and secured A$469 million in debt financing for Stage 3.
- Total project financing across the three stages now reaches approximately A$1.2 billion, reinforcing the facility's status as Australia's largest operational BESS campus with CATL as core energy storage supplier.
- CATL provided EnerC Plus systems for Stages 1 and 2 and will supply TENER S technology for Stage 3, a configuration that reduces the required site footprint by approximately 20%.
- Tim Hornemand, Managing Director and Regional Lead, Australia, at Quinbrook, said, "Achieving commercial operations for Stage 2 means we've successfully delivered," noting the complexity of commissioning utility-scale battery projects.
- CATL and Quinbrook are evaluating EnerQB, an eight-hour battery storage solution, for future stages, leveraging the site's approximately 4,000MW of available connection capacity for phased expansion.
