Completion of the contracts is scheduled by mid-2025. Genus will engage with about 85 personnel to complete the project.
GenusPlus, which has a $300.35 million market capitalisation, says the contracts are for construction of civil foundations and of a 220kV single circuit overhead transmission line between the power station at Fortescue’s Solomon and Eliwana Mine.
Genus will engage with circa 85 personnel to complete the project.

GenusPlus Managing Director David Riches says having already worked on stage one and three of the Pilbara Transmission Project, the company welcomes the opportunity to further extend its ‘deep’ relationship with Fortescue.
“Fortescue’s award of further contracts is testament to the capability of our team – and welcome recognition that Genus has the capacity and expertise to support the continuing energy transition. We look forward to completing the work safely and on time.”
