23 September 2019 Roger Smith Manager Network and Alternative Solutions 33 Harold St, Virginia QLD 4014 Dear Roger Maintaining reliability of supply between Clare South and Townsville South – Proposal for a Non-Network Solution Vena Energy Services (Australia) Pty Ltd ABN 89 609 132 747 (“Vena Energy”) is pleased to submit this Proposal for the supply on a non-network solution to maintain the reliability of supply between Clare South and Townsville South. We submit this proposal as Asia Pacific’s largest independent renewable energy developer and operator with unrivalled experience in development, construction and operation of utility scale generation facilities. Vena Energy’s Capability Statement is attached (Appendix 1). Background Two 132kV single circuit transmission lines, namely Coastal line and Inland line, exist between Clare South Substation and Townsville South Substation, each traversing separate geographical routes. The coastal circuit was established in 1963 and has a tee connection to Invicta Mill Substation. The inland circuit, established in 1967, carries critical telecommunications traffic for the transmission network via an optical ground wire (OPGW).
Powerlink’s condition assessment of the transmission lines has highlighted that at over 50 years of age, the majority of structures are exhibiting signs of degradation, which if not addressed will lead to increased safety and network risks. The preferred RIT-T network solution involves the repair or replacement of selected components on the coastal 132kV line from Clare South to Townsville South, and the installation of a new 375MVA 132/275kV transformer at Strathmore by December 2021. Under this option, design will commence in late 2019 and construction in early 2020. Installation of the new transformer at Strathmore and the life extension of the coastal transmission line will be completed by December 2021. Powerlink is seeking a non-network solution to enable the removal of the inland Clare South to Townsville South transmission line, and remain within Powerlink’s planning standard, which would need to meet following 3 selection criteria:
1. Supply up to 10MW in the Proserpine, Clare or Collinsville area with capability of operating continuously 24 hours per day on an ongoing basis.
2. The non-network solution must also maintain/restore fault level (system strength). 3. The non-network solution must also have voltage control capability.

Vena Energy believes that its Grid Firming Facility proposal will meet the above non-network selection criteria. The proposal below is based on our current assumptions of grid status, network parameters and indicative specifications and terms provide by our EPC supplier. These may change as we engage with Powerlink, EPC contractors and completion of the detailed network studied required to finalise the Generator Performance Standards. Thus, Vena Energy reserves its rights to amend its proposal below as required. Grid Firming Facility Proposal Vena Energy proposes to build a new Grid Firming Facility at its site near Collinsville. The Grid Firming facility would incorporate diesel power generation and a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) sized for
a. Up to 10MW / 120MWh of firm generation b. Up to 16MVAr of voltage support. c. 11kV output connection d. 10MVA Continuous Rating and a 10MVA, 30min energy storage BESS e. Support 43 MVA of Synchronous Fault Level at the 11KV facility connection point
A summary of the key planning parameters of the Project is summarised below: Table 1: Project Summary
Proposal
Source of Supply 12.7 MW diesel generation combined with a 10.9 MW/ 7.6 MWh BESS
Land 258 Ha site at Collinsville owned by Vena Energy. Currently permitted for the installation of a Solar PV facility and BESS.
Diesel Generators Diesel Generator Sets 1,820 kW, 11kV Generating unit per Container Total of 7 Containers Total output 12,740 kW
Battery Energy System Power Grid Stabilization (PGS) Battery Energy Storage System packaged in containers. Each container consists of • Grid Forming Inverter 1,562 kW • 2C Li Ion batteries 1,088 kWh
Total of 7 Containers Total Capacity is 10,934 kW / 7,616 kWh
Balance of plant • 11 kV / 132 kV Facility Substation • 415 V/11kV Step-up transformers for PGS Modules • Auxiliary transformer • LV Switchroom / Control Room / Station Control /SCADA /

Contract terms have been discussed with key equipment suppliers. These will be finalised once this non network solution is selected as the preferred option. Remaining areas of development include the finalisation of Generator Performance Standards with Powerlink and AEMO and obtaining a connection offer from Powerlink. Financial Capacity and Commercial Viability While Vena Energy has the capacity to fund the Project without the use of debt, Vena Energy considers that the overall cost of funding will be minimised by a capital solution that incorporates both long term equity and debt sourced from third parties. This allows Vena Energy to offer a lower cost solution to Powerlink. Commitment to Local Content and Community Benefits Vena Energy is committed to undertaking best practice methods to obtain and encourage local content, procurement and to ensure full, fair and reasonable opportunities for local suppliers, job seekers and industry participants. Contact Information We welcome the opportunity to discuss this proposal with Powerlink and we look forward in progressing this non-network solution. If you have any questions in relation to this Proposal please do not hesitate to contact Jerry Jia, Grid Connection Engineer 0466 472 868 or [email protected]. Yours sincerely,
