We are proud to provide secure jobs and opportunities for businesses in regional Queensland, and to help to support local economies so towns, cities and their residents can thrive.

We are part of the global Adani Group. Together, our operations are progressing the global transition to a lower emissions future – and fast. The Adani Group is the world’s largest multinational solar energy company and a pioneer in emerging renewables technologies via Adani New Industries Limited, in areas such as green hydrogen.
