Supernode is bringing together the future of data and energy through a large-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and data centre being developed by Quinbrook.  

Located in South East Queensland, it’s currently one of the largest BESS projects under construction in Australia, and will be one of the largest in the Australian National Electricity Market (NEM) upon completion.  

Supernode BESS will provide grid reliability, energy firming for renewables, and ancillary services at a strategic grid node in Queensland. 

The multi-stage, grid-scale BESS will store surplus renewable energy and discharges on demand to support grid stability, reduce curtailment of renewables, and firm intermittent generation.   

It is strategically located adjacent to the South Pine transmission node — a central hub of Queensland’s high-voltage grid. Its unique position enables fast-acting, high-volume grid services, responding to grid events in less than one second. 

Power will also be delivered directly to the colocated data centre precinct, capable of hosting up to 2 GW-IT of capacity and enabling significant delivered power cost savings.
