Supernode

Supernode is a cutting-edge data center initiative by Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners, designed to establish a sustainable hyperscale data center campus in Australia's East Coast. The project aims to leverage cost advantages in land, fiber access, renewable power supply, water resources, and ancillary infrastructure, positioning itself as a leader in eco-friendly data center solutions. With a strategic focus on long-term competitive costs and latency advantages, Supernode is set to meet the growing demands of hyperscale data centers and high-performance computing operations.

The Supernode project stands out for its commitment to environmental sustainability and its ability to provide 'around the clock' renewable power supply. This aligns with the Net Zero carbon reduction targets, offering data center operators a reliable and green energy source. The data centers are planned to be equipped with innovative energy and utilities management solutions, ensuring efficient operation and resilience. The strategic location within the electric grid transmission and fiber networks unlocks substantial energy cost savings, which is crucial given the significance of power costs to total operational expenses.

Quinbrook's Supernode project is not just a data center; it's an internationally significant digital infrastructure project that combines critical energy and data storage capacity. The campus, located near Brisbane, will feature one of the largest battery storage installations in the Australian National Electricity Market. This pioneering approach to data storage, powered by renewable energy sources, sets a new standard for data centers worldwide, promising significant cost savings and a robust digital economy for Queensland.
