Approval granted in Australia for the first battery storage project to share grid connection point with an existing generation asset in National Electricity Market.
Neoen said yesterday that its 100MW / 200MWh battery storage project in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) is underway, after the developer issued a notice to proceed to its construction partners Doosan Heavy Industries and Construction and Doosan GridTech.
Recognising the importance of energy storage for decarbonising and securing Australia’s energy system in the coming years, the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) has published two new sets of market rules.
Authorities in South Australia will consider granting approval for two battery storage projects that will connect to the National Electricity Market (NEM), each adding more than 200MW power output.
