National power and communications infrastructure provider Genus has secured a series of new contract awards with Fortescue and Western Power, reflecting the strength and continuity of its long-standing client partnerships.
Collectively valued at approximately $135 million, the works highlight the trust Genus has built through consistent performance, collaboration and delivery excellence across Australia’s energy infrastructure sector.
Under its partnership with Fortescue, Genus has been awarded three contracts for the construction of 220kV transmission lines, the design and construction of approximately 30km of overhead power distribution infrastructure at Fortescue’s Christmas Creek mine site and the construction of fast charger and pit power facilities at Eliwana and Flying Fish.
Genus has also secured further works under a variation of its contract with Western Power for the Clean Energy Link North project (CELN), along with a new contract for Network Renewal Underground Power Pilot project (NRUPP) works. The CELN variation is valued at around $50 million, with the NRUPP contract worth around $25 million, bringing Genus’ total CELN project awards to approximately $390 million to date.
As the company continues to proudly power Australia’s energy transition, these awards reinforce Genus’ reputation as a Tier 1 contractor of choice, one that brings agility, collaboration and de-risking capability to complex energy infrastructure projects.
“These contract extensions highlight the depth of trust and collaboration we’ve built with Fortescue and Western Power,” Genus managing director David Riches said.
“They reflect our ability to de-risk complex projects and deliver with agility and certainty and reinforces Genus as a partner of choice in Australia’s energy transition.”
