Australia's biggest tender delivers 15 GWh of battery energy storage systems, boosting grid reliability and advancing the 2030 renewable target.
Currently storage of electrical energy in Australia consists of a small number of pumped hydroelectric facilities and grid-scale batteries, and a diversity of battery storage systems at small scale, used mainly for backup. To balance energy use across the Australian economy, heat and fuel (chemical energy) storage are also required.
The winning bids include several battery energy storage systems (BESS) exceeding 500MWh in capacity, with at least two projects reaching the 1GWh threshold. The government has released the complete list of 16 successful projects (below). The projects range from 100MW to 450MW, with storage durations between 2 and 4 hours.
