19 February 2021 Genex has told shareholders that it will need more time to finalise negotiations for the construction of its flagship pumped hydro energy storage project in Queensland, with talks with key project partners still ongoing. In a statement to the ASX on Friday, Genex said that it would require additional time to reach contractual close on its flagship pumped hydro energy storage project, the latest of a number of delays. “Following a period of significant activity with all stakeholders it has become apparent that Contractual Close is now anticipated to occur in late Q1 CY2021, with Financial Close and commencement of construction to follow early in Q2 CY2021,” the company said in the statement.
