The Brendale campus is located adjacent to the South Pine switchyard, which is the central node for the Queensland electricity transmission network.
This is a strategic point in the Queensland power grid enabling access to all regions of Queensland for power delivery via three separate high voltage transmission connections. Power is delivered directly to the data centre precinct which is capable of hosting up to 2 GW-IT of capacity, enabling significant delivered power cost savings. Renewable power projects all over Queensland transmit their power to South Pine, providing Supernode with an unparalleled array of options to procure low-cost renewable power.
Target outcomes
-
Competitive land cost relative to competing data centres in NSW, ACT and Victoria
-
Access to Queensland’s abundant renewable energy resources to deliver low-cost, ‘around the clock’ renewable power supply and on-site back-up power solutions
-
High-level supply resiliency at South Pine switchyard
-
Superior latency to Asia versus data centre zones in Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne via the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast international cable landing points
