Big Canberra Battery – Williamsdale BESS
The large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) will provide at least 250 megawatts (MW) of power. This is enough energy to power one-third of Canberra for two hours
The government said the big battery project will be capable of responding rapidly to network constraints and will be able to store enough renewable energy to power one-third of Canberra for two hours during peak demand periods. The Williamsdale battery will be developed, built and operated by Macquarie Group offshoot Eku Energy.
The way has been cleared for construction to begin on a 250 MW / 500 MWh battery energy storage system that will help “future proof” the Australian Capital Territory's energy supply by reducing the load on Canberra's electricity network and increasing network reliability.
Installation is underway on behind-the-meter batteries at nine sites. The Big Canberra Battery project will deliver an ecosystem of batteries across the ACT to ensure that our electricity grid remains stable. The Big Canberra Battery project includes the installation of: installation of behind-the-meter batteries at nine government sites.
The ACT Government is future-proofing Canberra's energy supply by expanding its renewable energy storage with a new partnership with global specialist energy storage business, Eku Energy, launched by Macquarie's Green Investment Group.
