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.
Batteries can store excess renewable energy to be used at later times of higher demand - thereby extending the benefit of renewable energy into the evenings. It will increase the renewable energy hosting capacity across the ACT enabling more Canberrans to access the benefits of renewables.
In addition to these systems, three neighbourhood batteries will be installed in Canberra suburbs as part of the Commonwealth government’s Community Batteries for Household Solar Program.
Energy storage is a key priority for the ACT Government as it transitions away from fossil fuels and gas and pursues its plan to reach net zero emissions by 2045. This grid-scale storage system can store as much electricity as can be generated from 25,000 average solar rooftop solar systems on an average day 2.
We are developing next-generation energy storage technologies that use thermal energy, compressed air, hydrogen, batteries and ceramics to manage the storage, delivery and flow of electricity. One of the major challenges of renewable energy is how to provide electricity when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing.
