Victoria fast-tracks battery storage project for a sustainable energy future: The Victorian Government is assisting a renewable energy developer fast track its Battery Energy Storage System —now approved through the Development Facilitation Program.
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.
Victoria has 12 commissioned large-scale storage systems and 3 in commissioning – with a total output capacity of 1028 MW and storage capacity of more than 1.7 GWh. Storage capacity = how much total energy is stored in each battery. Output capacity = how much energy a battery can provide at a given time.
“The battery also enables an additional 180 MW of new renewables to be connected to the grid.” The Victoria-government owned SEC is working with Sweden-headquartered clean energy developer OX2 to build the energy park in two stages, starting with the 119 MW solar farm that is to comprise more than 212,000 PV solar panels.
