en.Wedoany.com Reported - Energy Security Corporation of New South Wales, Australia will invest AUD 100 million to support the construction of up to 1 GW of battery energy storage capacity. This Australian battery energy storage project will serve high-load areas such as Sydney, Newcastle, and the Hunter Central Coast, aiming to enhance grid regulation capabilities through storage facilities.

This round of Australian battery energy storage projects is advanced by PLUS Grid Storage, with the project entity under the Ausgrid group. The construction includes four lithium-ion battery energy storage systems, two of which each have a capacity of 200 MW, located in the Steel River industrial area in Newcastle and Homebush in Sydney, respectively; the remaining two have capacities of 100 MW and 150 MW. The first 500 MW is planned to be operational by early 2029, and the 150 MW battery project is expected to be operational by the end of 2029.

Construction of the first Newcastle battery energy storage system is expected to start next month. When fully charged, all batteries can support the daily electricity needs of approximately 118,000 households. With the advancement of the 1 GW Australian battery energy storage project, New South Wales will generate new construction demands in areas such as grid-side energy storage, lithium battery systems, grid connection equipment, and operational dispatch.
