East End BESS

The East End BESS is a proposed 500MW/4 hour Battery Energy Storage System project near Bracewell, Queensland. 

The East End BESS is a proposed 500MW/4 hour Battery Energy Storage System project located on cleared farm land near Bracewell in Queensland. TE H2 have completed environmental surveys and are currently undertaking consultation to seek feedback from the local community prior to lodging the Development Application. 

The proposed site is located in a rural area of Bracewell, adjacent to the existing 275kV Powerlink transmission lines, which East End BESS will connect to. Approximately 25km southwest of Gladstone, the nearest neighbour is over 5km away from the project.

The East End BESS is currently under development and scheduled for lodgement by 3rd quarter of 2025.

Planning approvals
TE H2 will seek planning approval for the East End BESS through the Gladstone Regional Council. TE H2 may also refer the project to the Federal Government for approval under the Environmental Protection & Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act. As the final design and construction for the East End BESS is refined, further permits and secondary approvals may be required. TE H2 will keep the local community, landowners, neighbours, and interested stakeholders updated as the project progresses through approvals.

Register your interest

You can submit a 
registration of interest in 
working with us to supply 
the East End BESS project.

Submit your interest

Rather than having money flow out of the local economy, TE H2 aims to bring it in by hiring local people and local suppliers where possible in its projects, as they know the land and have the skills coupled with an enthusiasm to get the job done. 

At this stage, construction is anticipated to commence end of 2027.

Contractors will be appointed closer to construction who will manage the procurement processes of employment and various contracts for goods and services.
