The Barron Gorge Hydro sources water from the Barron River to generate electricity before releasing the water back into the river. With the ability to quickly start its two 33 MW generators, the facility is a critical asset for providing a secure and reliable energy supply for Queensland.

Saunders Automation was contracted by CleanCo Queensland to deliver a complete turn-key control system upgrade for the dual turbine 66 MW power station. The scope included:

• PLC and SCADA systems
• OT network infrastructure
• Installation, testing, and commissioning
