Squadron Energy is seeking approval from the Australian government’s EPBC Act to develop a 1,000MWh BESS in New South Wales.

Equis Australia claims it has secured New South Wales’ first merchant BESS debt financing for a 500MWh BESS in Australia.

Dr Emi Gui of the Monash Energy Institute believes there’s a void in the market for an entity to drive Australia’s community batteries.

Acen Australia has sold a 50MW/100MWh 2-hour duration hybrid solar PV and BESS project to developer FRV Australia.

NSW’s BESS pipeline, PHES in Tasmania and the ‘home of utility-scale storage’ were discussed at the Energy Storage Summit Australia 2025.

2.6GWh of utility-scale battery energy storage projects have been successful in Western Australia’s first Capacity Investment Scheme tender.

Energy storage developer Energy Vault is set to fully acquire the 125MW/1GWh Stoney Creek battery energy storage system (BESS) in New South Wales, Australia, from Enervest Group.

Battery storage can turn record-high instances of negative spot pricing in Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM) into investment opportunities.

On day one of the Energy Storage Summit Australia 2025, the audience heard that although 2 to 4-hour duration battery energy storage systems (BESS) are favourable, longer durations are starting to challenge this.

Developers entering competitive solicitations for energy storage have been offered advice on how to be successful.
