Selection of the battery operator will be made in late 2024 following a procurement process. The Big Canberra Battery project will provide renewable energy security across the electricity grid, help the ACT grow its renewable energy sector, provide more local employment opportunities, and deliver a positive financial return for the Territory.
The Government has partnered with Eku Energy to deliver the next stage of the Big Canberra Battery with a large-scale battery storage facility in Williamsdale.
The Big Canberra Battery will help future proof the Territory’s energy supply by reducing the load on our electricity network, supporting more families to switch to reliable renewable energy sources to power their homes. This year’s Budget will invest in the project, which will be delivered in three streams.
The large-scale battery storage system will deliver 250 megawatts (MW) of power, store renewable energy and support grid reliability. This is enough energy to power one-third of Canberra for two hours during peak demand periods. Behind-the-meter batteries will be installed to help power essential services across nine government sites.
Quote attributable to Eku Energy CEO, Dan Burrows: "The Big Canberra Battery represents a significant milestone for Eku Energy as it marks our first GWh of projects in delivery in Australia. We are proud to be working in partnership with the ACT Government to deliver the development of the first stream of the Big Canberra Battery.
The Big Canberra Battery will have 500 MWh of capacity, which on a single charge could supply 23,400 households with their daily energy use. Approximately 180–200 jobs will also be created through the project. More batteries for Canberra
