The Victorian government has fast tracked the approval of what is to be one of the state's biggest battery energy storage systems as it seeks to accelerate the development of projects to support its renewable energy ambitions.
EnergyAustralia is planning a 350 MW/1.4 GWh project next to its Jeeralang gas-fired power station, in Victoria, and Acen is constructing a 200 MW/400 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) next to its New England solar farm, in New South Wales (NSW).
In March 2018, 2 projects in Western Victoria were chosen to be part of The Energy Storage Initiative – one in Ballarat and one in Gannawarra. Construction for the Ballarat and Gannawarra Energy Storage Systems was completed in late 2018. Both batteries began operating over the summer of 2018 and 2019.
