Steady price falls the past few years have made lithium-ion BESS a real contender for long-duration energy storage (LDES), and that is now reflected in global project pipelines.
Australian renewable energy developer Edify Energy has confirmed that the 185MW/370MWh Koorangie battery energy storage system (BESS) in Victoria is fully operational.
Renewable energy developer Ampyr Australia has signed what it claims is an Australian “first-of-a-kind” Aboriginal community equity partnership and participation model for the Wellington Stage 1 battery energy storage system (BESS).
The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has made grid-forming BESS a priority for the National Electricity Market (NEM) and South West Interconnected System (SWIS) for 2026.
