RWE Renewables Australia has officially opened the 50MW/400MWh Limondale battery energy storage system (BESS) near Balranald in south-west New South Wales.

Eku Energy has submitted its 1,000MWh Griffith battery energy storage system (BESS) for environmental assessment under Australia’s EPBC Act.

RWE has received official sign-off from the AEMO and Transgrid to operate Australia’s first 8-hour BESS at full capacity.

Australia’s New South Wales (NSW) has opened two tenders seeking 2.5GW of renewable energy generation and 12GWh of long-duration energy storage, marking the largest generation procurement in the state’s history under its Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap.

Thimo Mueller, general manager of commercial at ASL, has urged that a ‘culture of collaboration’ will be key to New South Wales (NSW) achieving its energy storage targets.
