THEODORE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT PTY LTD
THEODORE WIND FARM
Theodore Energy Development, a subsidiary of RWE Renewables, has received state planning approval for a large-scale renewable energy project near Theodore in Banana Shire, Central Queensland. The project includes:
- Up to 170 wind turbines
- Battery storage facility
It will generate enough electricity to power approximately 500,000 Queensland homes.
Construction is expected to take up to four years, employing up to 500 workers at peak times, with a strong focus on hiring regional Queensland businesses and workers.
Economic benefits include:
- Opportunities for Queensland businesses and individuals to supply goods and/or services
- A Sponsorship Fund that has distributed more than $160,000 to the local community so far
- A Community Benefit Program that will begin during construction and continue throughout the wind farm's operational life, incorporating a Community Benefit Fund of at least $500,000 annually ($17.5 million over the wind farm's operational life).
EXPRESSION OF INTEREST (EOI)
RWE encourages local industry interested in supplying goods and services to the project to provide a Expression of interest (EOI) through the ICN Gateway. Information on specific supply opportunities will be communicated on the ICN Gateway project page as it becomes available, with local industry able to register interest in specific work packages.
Please ensure that:
- Your company profile on the Gateway By ICN platform is fully updated, accurate, and you have opted to receive email notifications about upcoming supply opportunities
- You express your interest as either a full or partial scope supplier (where applicable), and
- You provide answers to all questions specific to the work packages related to the project.
It is important that businesses submitting an EOI are aware that their submission does not guarantee that they will progress further in the procurement process. Only companies that can demonstrate capability and capacity in accordance with RWE standards will be invited to pre-qualify for specific opportunities.
FURTHER ASSISTANCE
RWE highly recommends that local businesses contact the ICN Queensland in the first instance to better understand the Expression of Interest (EOI) process.
