Australia’s grid-scale BESS fleet earned an estimated AU$37.62 million in the National Electricity Market (NEM) in October 2026.

Dan Taylor, director of engineering at optimisation and asset management provider Arenko, speaks to Energy-Storage.news about all things data in battery energy storage systems (BESS).

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Australia’s New South Wales (NSW) earned an estimated AU$5.63 million (US$3.88 million) in two hours on 12 October, as wholesale electricity prices peaked at AU$23,107/MWh.

Australia’s 59 grid-scale BESS earned a combined AU$88.91 million in estimated gross energy and FCAS market revenue in the NEM.

Akaysha Energy’s Waratah Super Battery in Australia briefly reached its full rated output of 850MW on 7 September.

Orchestrating battery storage components, containers, systems and portfolios is key to successful operation, says Ryan Franks.

ESN Premium speaks with Fluence’s Jeff Monday and Sam Markham on the opportunity battery energy storage could provide data centres in Australia.

There can be great value in co-location, but the operational reality is not as simple as it may sound, writes Daniel Moore-Oats of Arenko.

Australia’s NEM connected 9.1GW of new generation and energy storage to full output in FY26, more than double the result achieved in FY25.

Australia’s 55 grid-scale BESS generated a combined AU$17.98 million in estimated gross energy and FCAS market revenue during June 2026.
