Overview
K2 will deliver fast start, flexible generation to provide critical backup capacity that supports the increasing penetration of renewable energy across Western Australia. The facility will strengthen AGL's energy portfolio in the state and aligns with the Western Australian Government's commitment to retire all state owned coalfired power generation by 2030.
The K2 Project will be built adjacent to the existing Kwinana Swift Power Station, in whose construction Clough was also involved, within an industrial area that already hosts major energy infrastructure. This approach will minimise connection works and leverage existing plant and logistical synergies. The new facility will adopt an open-cycle gas turbine (OCGT) configuration.
The project will supply power during periods of peak demand, providing a lower emission alternative within the state's evolving energy mix.
At peak construction, the project is expected to employ more than 200 people, contributing to local jobs, supply chain and capability within the region.
Clough in collaboration with e2o, also part of Webuild group, looks forward to working closely with AGL Energy and project stakeholders to safely and successfully deliver this significant energy infrastructure asset for Western Australia.
