Clough (Webuild) awarded €116 million contract for Kwinana Gas Power Generation 2 (K2) project in Western Australia
Group strengthens commitment to supporting Country’s decarbonisation path
220MW open-cycle gas power plant to be built for AGL Energy in Kwinana, south of Perth, designed to operate during periods of peak electricity demand
Plant to support stability and transition of Western Australia’s energy system ahead of planned retirement of coal-fired power stations by 2030
MILAN, March 31, 2026 – The Webuild Group is strengthening its presence in Australia by confirming its role as a key partner in the country’s decarbonisation efforts. Its local subsidiary, Clough, a long-standing Australian company, has been awarded a €116-million design and construct (D&C) contract (100% Clough) for the 220MW Kwinana Gas Power Generation 2 (K2) Project, an open-cycle gas turbine power plant in Kwinana, located 40 kilometres south of Perth, on behalf of AGL Energy.
The project is part of a broader strategy to support Australia’s energy transition. Webuild and Clough are also involved in major hydropower initiatives such as Snowy 2.0, the country’s largest renewable energy project under construction.
The K2 Project will be built adjacent to the existing Kwinana Swift Power Station, in whose construction Clough was also involved, within an industrial area that already hosts major energy infrastructure. This approach will minimise connection works and leverage existing plant and logistical synergies. The new facility will adopt an open-cycle gas turbine (OCGT) configuration
Construction will create more than 200 jobs, promoting local expertise and contributing to the development of a strong, inclusive supply chain.
The awarding of the contract underscores the strength that comes from the joining of Clough’s century-long experience in Australia with Webuild’s global scale – an effective combination for managing highly complexity and critical infrastructure projects.
Australia is Webuild’s largest foreign market by revenues. The Group is active across multiple sectors, from urban mobility – such as the North East Link in Melbourne – to healthcare, including the New Women’s and Babies Hospital in Perth.
