Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners has sold its 240MW/960MWh Summerfield Battery to Palisade Investment Partners in South Australia.

Envision’s Behzad Naderi believes that Australia’s hybridisation rules are reshaping development and connection processes across the NEM.

A 150MWh system has been granted approval in Australia, whilst a 1,000MWh system has been submitted for federal consideration.

James Costello, CEO of EORA Energy, argues that long-duration vanadium redox flow battery storage is critical to Western Australia’s decarbonisation efforts, particularly for remote mining operations.

Australia’s heavy reliance on imported fossil fuels has left households and businesses dangerously exposed to global energy shocks, with the current conflict involving the US and Iran costing motorists more than AU$1 billion (US$710 million) in March alone.

New South Wales has been warned that it must accelerate the development of battery energy storage systems to meet its 2030 targets.

Private Energy Partners has submitted a hybrid energy project to Australia’s environmental approval process, proposing a 780MW BESS.

The NSW IPC has approved Spark Renewables’ Dinawan Solar Farm, an 800MW solar project paired with a 356MW/1,574MWh BESS.

Eora Energy has officially launched in Australia and is positioning itself as a challenger in the vanadium redox flow battery market.

Australian BESS face new financing reality as spreads halve to AU$100/MWh and lenders demand 50-70% contracting amid 15GW deployment surge.
