Supernode

Supernode is a landmark digital and energy infrastructure project developed by Quinbrook in Queensland, Australia. Strategically located in Brendale adjacent to the central node of Queensland’s electricity transmission network, Supernode combines large-scale battery storage with hyperscale data centre infrastructure.

Stages 1 and 2 of Supernode BESS are now operational, providing a combined 520 MW / 1,858 MWh of battery storage capacity. Together with Stage 3, the first three stages will provide approximately 780 MW / 3,073 MWh of capacity.

Stages 1 through 3 are directly connected to the high-voltage grid via three dedicated connections and are co-located with the Torus dark fibre data cable and international subsea link, creating a powerful nexus of energy and digital infrastructure. Quinbrook has committed A$1.4 billion to develop the first three stages of battery storage, with future phases potentially expanding total investment to more than A$3 billion, including data centre capacity.

The project is engineered for long-term efficiency, leveraging renewable power, robust grid access and low-latency digital connectivity, making Supernode a foundation asset in Australia’s energy transition and digital economy.
