The Monadelphous Group Ltd (ASX: MND) share price is in focus today after the company secured a major $380 million construction contract with CS Energy for the Brigalow Peaking Power Plant. The award underscores Monadelphous’ strengthening role in Australia’s energy transition and involves the installation of 12 aeroderivative gas turbine units with a 400 MW combined capacity.

What did Monadelphous report?

  • Secured a $380 million construction contract with CS Energy
  • Project involves installing 12 gas turbine generator units, totalling 400 MW capacity
  • Contract expected to be completed by early 2029

What else do investors need to know?

The Brigalow Peaking Power Plant, near Chinchilla in Queensland, is designed to deliver power to more than 150,000 homes during periods of peak electricity demand. Monadelphous’ contract covers both construction and minor engineering packages, with operations set to start in the second half of this year.

The company has highlighted its commitment to supporting local communities by forecasting significant workforce participation and supply engagement from the region. This contract further diversifies Monadelphous’ energy sector exposure, complementing its strong track record in large-scale infrastructure.
