Australia’s energy storage sector has seen trio of significant announcements around major battery energy storage system (BESS) projects.

Australia’s battery storage market had a record-breaking year in 2023 across utility-scale, residential, and commercial and industrial (C&I) segments.

A new grid-scale battery storage development platform has launched in Australia with Oliver Yates, former CEO of the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC), as its chairman.  

Australia runs a great risk of failing to meet its ambitious but achievable renewable energy goals, writes Stephanie Bashir, CEO of Nexa Advisory, who explains why utility-scale energy storage is among the crucial tools in the country’s energy transition toolkit.

The Australian government has announced that the Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) South Australia-Victoria tender is now open for bids.

The Australian government’s start of competitive tenders for dispatchable renewable energy capacity backed with energy storage is an unprecedented step for national energy policy.

Three large-scale battery storage projects and one virtual power plant were the winners of a recent competitive tender held on behalf of the government of New South Wales (NSW), Australia.

Australia has opened a public consultation for scheme widely expected to be a game changer in rollout of clean energy technologies.

Australia’s Federal Budget included AU$4 billion new investment in energy, confirmation of tenders for renewables and energy storage.
