About Quantum DC
We Are.....
Quantum DC brings together senior professionals across institutional real estate, energy markets, engineering and environmental approvals. We originate, structure and develop high quality digital infrastructure opportunities across Australia.
Our Focus.....
We develop compute and energy hubs: large scale data centre precincts co-located with new renewable generation, battery storage and fast-start reserve generation, connected through dedicated network infrastructure. Our model brings new energy supply to the grid alongside new demand, consistent with the direction of Australian energy policy.
Clear Vision.....
Most data centre projects stall on power, planning, water or delivery. We solve these first. Quantum DC secures the land, the grid connection, the energy supply chain and the approvals pathway, then partners with operators and infrastructure capital to deliver, retaining long term positions in the network and energy platforms.
Capabilities
We take projects from paddock to powered campus
Site origination and acquisition Identifying and securing strategic landholdings at strong transmission positions.
Grid connection and network infrastructure Connection applications, dedicated network assets and long term arrangements with transmission network operators.
Energy procurement Renewable power purchase agreements, battery storage tolling and reserve generation arrangements, managed through Quantum Energy Trading.
Planning and approvals Essential infrastructure and state significant assessment pathways, environmental studies and technical investigations.
Water and utilities Low water cooling strategies, servicing arrangements and utility coordination.
Fibre and connectivity Route assessment, carrier engagement and network diversity.
Government and community Coordinated engagement with state agencies, regulators, councils and local communities.
Partnerships and capital Structuring joint ventures with operators, energy counterparties and infrastructure investors.
Current Projects
Tungkillo Compute and Energy Hub, South Australia
Quantum DC is developing the Tungkillo Compute and Energy Hub, an integrated data centre and energy precinct on approximately 220 hectares in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia, adjoining one of the state's strongest 275 kV transmission positions.
The project comprises:
- A hyperscale data centre campus designed for staged delivery of up to 1.2 GW, built to Tier IV availability standards with closed-loop, direct-to-chip liquid cooling and near zero continuous water consumption
- A dedicated 275 kV connection and new substation infrastructure
- Co-located large scale battery storage projects connecting at the project's network assets
- Fast-start gas reserve generation of not less than 400 MW, with provision for expansion, expected to operate at low capacity factor in a reliability and system security role
- Long term renewable energy supply contracted from South Australian projects
Grid connection, planning, water, fibre and site investigation workstreams are well advanced. The project is progressing through South Australia's essential infrastructure assessment pathway, working closely with the South Australian Government and ElectraNet, and is targeting first power in 2028 with capacity delivered in staged increments.
Community engagement is central to our delivery approach. We welcome enquiries from local residents and stakeholders.
Our Platforms
The Quantum group operates through three platforms.
Quantum DC (QDC) The project company developing the Tungkillo Compute and Energy Hub, holding the site, the dedicated network infrastructure and the project partnerships.
Quantum Developments Australia (QDA) The group's development platform, taking the compute and energy hub model to a pipeline of new sites across South Australia, Western Australia and Queensland. QDA applies the disciplines proven at Tungkillo: transmission strength, energy resource, land, water, fibre and a supportive policy environment.
Quantum Energy Trading (QET) The group's energy platform. QET contracts and manages the energy stack behind each hub: renewable power purchase agreements, battery storage tolling, reserve generation and market operations, delivering firmed, renewables-led power under long term arrangements.
