Octopus Australia has acquired the Coleambally battery energy storage system (BESS), a 100MW/400MWh standalone project in development located in southern New South Wales.
Battery storage equipped with optimisation platforms not specifically designed for Australia’s NEM missed revenue opportunities during the 10 October price spike, according to Sahand Karimi, co-founder and CEO of OptiGrid.
Australian energy major AGL has seen its 1,000MWh Liddell battery energy storage system (BESS) in New South Wales (NSW) enter AEMO’s Market Management System.
Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM) achieved multiple battery energy storage records during the weekend of 27-28 September 2025, highlighted by total storage capacity reaching 6,591.5MWh for the first time.
