Mission critical data centre operations at Queensland’s central node
The Supernode Project is a 780 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and 230 MW-IT data centre campus located across 30 hectares in Brendale, in the Moreton Bay Council area of Queensland. The site is currently under construction, and on completion is expected to provide community and business connectivity, data accessibility, reliability and economic benefits, from its location at the central node of the Queensland Electricity Network.

Innovation in water and energy security
In addition to the co-located BESS project, the site planning and design incorporated innovative water, energy efficiency and built environment solutions, including water collection and reuse capabilities, use of non-potable water from on-site condensate or rainwater harvesting. Built environment proposals included the use of lower-carbon concrete and other building materials, in addition to energy efficiency measures.
Digital economy leadership and local economy contribution
The investment underpins critical IT/Data industries and provides significant infrastructure and data speed/ security incentive for the development of new industries in the local region. The project forms part of Moreton Bay’s target to create 100,000 new jobs and to position the region as a hub for knowledge and innovation, to become Southeast Queensland’s AUD 40 billion engine room.
