Preferred EPC Contractor:

Following engagement with a number of leading Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractors, Genex has appointed UGL Pty Limited (UGL) as the preferred EPC contractor for JSP. UGL is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Australian publicly listed company CIMIC Group Limited (ASX: CIM), which is a world-leading infrastructure, mining, services and public private partnerships group.

UGL was responsible for the successful delivery of the 50MW Kidston Solar One Project (KS1), in addition to being selected as the Preferred EPC contractor for the Kidston Solar 2 Project (K2-Solar) under development (refer ASX announcement 12 December 2017).

Under an Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) arrangement, Genex and UGL will work together to finalise the EPC and Operation and Maintenance (O&M) contracts and complete the remaining development works required to reach financial close in June 2019 and commence construction in July 2019.

Project Delivery Team:

The appointment of UGL as preferred EPC Contractor finalises the strong project delivery team Genex has assembled to take the project through to completion and generation, which includes the refinancing of KS1. The delivery team is comprised of top-tier advisors, contractors and consultants who have a proven track record of project delivery in renewable energy.
