INTEC Wins EPC Role for Queensland Solar-Storage Hybrid

• INTEC Energy Solutions lands EPC role for Lightsource bp’s Lower Wonga solar-plus-storage project in Queensland—delivering design, construction and commissioning to boost grid reliability and clean peak power.

INTEC Energy Solutions said Monday it will act as engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor for Lightsource bp’s Lower Wonga solar-plus-storage project in Queensland, Australia. The contract covers design, equipment procurement, construction management and commissioning for the hybrid facility.

The project combines utility-scale solar generation with battery energy storage to improve operational flexibility, support grid reliability and allow stored power to be delivered during peak demand or lower generation periods. INTEC said the investment reflects continued growth in Australia’s solar and battery deployment and is expected to supply clean electricity while helping Queensland’s energy transition and system resilience.

How will INTEC’s EPC role advance Lightsource bp’s Lower Wonga solar-plus-storage project?

• Enables Lightsource bp to deliver the Lower Wonga solar-plus-storage hybrid faster by adding an end-to-end EPC capability covering design-to-commissioning scope
  
• Strengthens project integration between the solar plant and battery energy storage systems by managing interface engineering and delivery of key plant components under one contractor
  
• Improves grid-readiness by supporting commissioning activities that align performance testing, controls integration, and grid-connection requirements with utility expectations
  
• Reduces delivery risk for Lightsource bp through centralized procurement management for major equipment and structured construction oversight, helping maintain schedule certainty
  
• Enhances operational flexibility of the hybrid asset by ensuring the EPC build supports the system’s intended dispatch capabilities—charging, discharging, and performance during peak-demand windows
  
• Supports reliability outcomes by commissioning the storage system to perform consistently alongside solar generation variability, reducing performance gaps between generation and stored-energy output
  
• Helps maintain bankability and performance assurance by coordinating engineering documentation, construction QA/QC, and commissioning outputs needed for warranties and operational handover
  
• Provides commissioning readiness that can accelerate transition to commercial operations, allowing Lightsource bp to bring clean energy and dispatchable storage to Queensland sooner
  
• Contributes to broader market momentum by demonstrating how major EPC execution can scale solar-plus-storage deployments across Australia’s growing renewables pipeline
  
• Offers Lightsource bp greater construction and delivery control, allowing the developer to focus on asset ownership strategy while INTEC handles construction execution and commissioning delivery for the hybrid project
