en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Lower Wonga solar-storage integrated project in Queensland, Australia, undertaken by Gotion High-Tech, has officially commenced construction. The project features an energy storage capacity of 281MW/843MWh, paired with a 380MWdc photovoltaic power station. It is one of the largest solar-storage DC coupling projects in Australia and is expected to be connected to the grid and operational by the end of 2028.
The project is invested and developed by Lightsource bp, an international integrated energy developer. Once operational, based on annual power generation estimates, it can meet the annual electricity needs of approximately 126,000 local households, helping to enhance the clean energy supply capacity of Australia's National Electricity Market and improve renewable energy integration levels and grid stability. As the core EPC contractor, Gotion High-Tech provides a comprehensive large-scale solar-storage integrated solution for the project, covering full-process services including energy storage system design, equipment supply, system integration, and grid connection commissioning. The project is equipped with the Qianyuan Smart Storage 5MWh energy storage system, paired with self-developed long-cycle battery cells, meeting a 25-year long-term operational requirement. The products have obtained IEC certification and multiple qualifications for access to the Australian power grid.
To address industry pain points in Queensland, such as solar curtailment, grid fluctuations, and high construction, operation, and maintenance costs, Gotion High-Tech has adopted its self-developed DC coupling technology to efficiently absorb surplus photovoltaic power and reduce curtailment losses. By optimizing asset allocation through shared solar-storage equipment, this solution aims to lower initial project investment and improve system operational efficiency. The project utilizes standardized prefabricated cabin designs and advanced battery management technology, optimizing battery operating conditions, extending equipment lifespan, and ensuring stable grid-connected power output, while deeply adapting to the requirements of the Australian electricity market. The commencement of this project marks a milestone in Gotion High-Tech's advancement in the Australian new energy market. Leveraging its advantages across the entire lithium battery industry chain, the company has achieved full-chain capability output—from core equipment independent R&D and manufacturing to integrated project delivery—and has explored an overseas expansion model of "Chinese technology + local implementation."
