Hitachi Energy has entered a 20-year service agreement with Australian developer Akaysha Energy to support the 155MW/298MWh Ulinda Park battery energy storage system (BESS) in Queensland’s Western Downs region.
Developer Akaysha Energy has received federal environmental clearance for its 400MW/1,600MWh Glenrowan battery energy storage system (BESS) in Victoria, with the project deemed “not a controlled action” under Australia’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act.
Developer Akaysha Energy has submitted a 1.6GWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project to Australia’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act.
The Victoria government has approved two large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) projects totalling 700MW through its Development Facilitation Program (DFP).
BlackRock-backed Akaysha Energy has commenced operations at its 205MW/410MWh Brendale battery energy storage system (BESS) in Queensland, Australia, delivering the project close to five months ahead of the original schedule.
BlackRock-backed developer Akaysha Energy is reportedly considering options to raise additional funds, including selling a minority stake, to support the expansion of its battery energy storage operations.
Developer Akaysha Energy has confirmed that the 850MW Waratah Super Battery will undergo a planned balance of plant shutdown from 20 November to 2 December 2025.
