Alinta Energy has discontinued work on the 7.2GWh Oven Mountain pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) project in New South Wales (NSW), Australia.

Australia’s CSIRO has revised pumped hydro storage costs upward in the final version of its annual GenCost electricity cost report.

Tesla has announced that by the end of 2026, it expects to have around 4.5GW of grid-forming battery storage operating across Australia.
