In 1996, Transfield won the right to construct and own the Townsville Power Station, which Siemens constructed on a turnkey basis. Once again, a contract to supply power for 15 years was signed with the Queensland Government.
These latest Transfield BOOT Power Stations represented some of the most sophisticated infrastructure projects: ones that involved organising a large team of professionals for a complex competitive tender, which ultimately led to innovative technical and financial solutions for Government, contractor, banker and owner alike.
