GNX: Bulli Creek Solar Project - Update on Fortescue Offtake

Sentiment:
 Project Update
 1 April 2024 6:34 PM

Genex Power's solar power purchase agreement with Fortescue for the Bulli Creek Solar Project faces uncertainty as a buyer condition precedent lapses, but discussions for additional offtake continue.

Worse than expected
  The lapse of the buyer condition precedent in the PPA with Fortescue introduces uncertainty to the project, making the results worse than expected. 

Delay expected
  The buyer condition precedent was not satisfied by the revised sunset date of 31 March 2024, potentially delaying the project's financial close. 

Summary
  • Genex Power is developing the Bulli Creek Solar and Battery Project (BCP) in partnership with Electric Power Development Co., Ltd (J-POWER).
  • A 25-year solar power purchase agreement (PPA) was signed with a wholly owned subsidiary of Fortescue for 337.5MW of capacity from the BCP.
  • Fortescue intended to use the solar energy for its green hydrogen and green ammonia facility at Gibson Island.
  • A buyer condition precedent in the PPA was not satisfied by the revised sunset date of 31 March 2024, giving either party the right to terminate.
  • The PPA remains in effect, requiring the buyer condition precedent to be satisfied or waived before financial close.
  • Genex is in discussions with external parties for additional solar offtake to increase the project's initial capacity to up to 775MW.
  • Genex expects to conclude these discussions and confirm the size of the BCP by mid-2024, targeting a final investment decision in 2H CY2024.
  • The announcement has no material impact on the project timeline or offtake discussions.
Sentiment

Score: 5

Explanation: The sentiment is neutral to slightly negative due to the uncertainty surrounding the Fortescue PPA, balanced by the ongoing efforts to secure additional offtake agreements.

Highlights
  • A buyer condition precedent in the 25-year PPA with Fortescue for the Bulli Creek Solar Project (BCP) has lapsed.
  • The PPA remains in effect, but the buyer condition must be satisfied or waived before financial close can proceed.
  • Genex is in discussions with external parties to increase the initial capacity of the BCP to up to 775MW.
  • The company aims to finalize these discussions by mid-2024 and reach a final investment decision in the second half of CY2024.
  • The Fortescue PPA underpins a minimum project size of 450MW for the BCP.
Positives
  • Genex is actively seeking additional offtake agreements to potentially increase the BCP's capacity to 775MW, making it the largest grid-connected solar farm in Australia.
  • The PPA with Fortescue remains in effect, providing a foundation of 450MW for the project.
  • Genex continues to support Fortescue in satisfying the buyer condition precedent.
  • The announcement has no material impact on the project timeline or offtake discussions.
Negatives
  • The lapse of the buyer condition precedent in the PPA with Fortescue introduces uncertainty to the project.
  • The project's financial close is contingent on satisfying or waiving the buyer condition precedent.
Risks
  • Failure to satisfy or waive the buyer condition precedent could lead to termination of the PPA with Fortescue.
  • Delays in securing additional offtake agreements could impact the project's timeline and final investment decision.
  • The project is dependent on Fortescue reaching a final investment decision for its Gibson Island project.
Future Outlook

Genex aims to secure additional offtake agreements to increase the Bulli Creek Solar Project's capacity and reach a final investment decision in the second half of CY2024, contingent on satisfying the buyer condition precedent with Fortescue or securing a waiver.

Industry Context
