Community Engagement

Grupo Cobra’s first Australian clean energy project is underway in Moranbah, Queensland, featuring up to 200MW of solar generation and 50MW/100MWh of battery storage (BESS) capacity. Now in late-stage development, the project supports grid reliability, contributes to the national 82% renewable target by 2030, and is set to create up to 250 jobs with a focus on local participation and regional economic benefit.

Grupo Cobra recognises the importance of earning social licence, especially in regions like Moranbah with strong community values and cultural ties. Grupo Cobra has formed a key partnership with the Barada Barna People, Traditional Owners of the land, and is finalising both a Cultural Heritage Management Agreement and a Shared Benefits Agreement. These aim to preserve culture, support economic participation, and align with the Australian Government’s First Nations Clean Energy Strategy.

Beyond this, Grupo Cobra supports broader community priorities, funding grassroots groups like the Childcare Leadership Alliance (CLA) and Emergency and Long-Term Accommodation in Moranbah (ELAM). Grupo Cobra maintains open communication with Isaac Regional Council and is finalising an Infrastructure Agreement for road maintenance and use.

Grupo Cobra also engages with local landowners, schools, and youth—sharing project insights at Moranbah State High School and sponsoring community events like the Career Expo. Across all efforts, Grupo Cobra is committed to respectful, long-term collaboration with the Moranbah community, fostering trust and local value.
