APA and CS Energy Partner on 400MW Brigalow Gas Peaker in Queensland

APA Group and CS Energy have signed a Joint Development Agreement to advance the proposed 400MW Brigalow Peaking Power Plant in Queensland. APA will take an 80% ownership stake and lead project delivery, while CS Energy will retain 20% and operate the plant. The project aims to supply firming capacity during peak electricity demand periods, backing up the rapid build-out of variable renewable energy in Queensland. The plant will connect to APA's Roma–Brisbane Pipeline via a new lateral transport and storage line. APA expects the development to deliver value across regional communities and energy consumers, while reinforcing investor confidence.
