CATL and Quinbrook extend their Supernode battery energy storage partnership in Australia after key project milestones in Phases 2 and 3. Quinbrook’s Supernode BESS project completes Phase 2 and reaches a financial-close milestone for Phase 3 funding, following a staged development approach.
Across the releases, outlets describe Phase 2 as entering commercial operation and highlight the Phase 3 financing as a major step. PR Newswire states Phase 3 reaches financial close on financing of A$469 million, while Energy Monitor reports a $333 million figure for Stage 3 financing. The difference reflects different currency presentation and possibly updated reporting thresholds, but both describe the same financing-close event tied to Phase 3.
The articles present the development as further consolidation of the CATL–Quinbrook alliance and an additional advancement of the Supernode project beyond Phase 2. All accounts tie the progress to completing commercial operations for Stage 2 and securing funding for Stage 3, marking continued movement through the project’s phased plan.
