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.
Penny Sharpe, the New South Wales energy minister, has announced plans to legislate a new long-duration energy storage (LDES) target for the Australian state of 28GWh by 2034.
Bids for the South West Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) Access Rights in New South Wales (NSW), Australia have exceeded the targeted capacity by four times, while a 100MW solar-plus-storage project has been approved in the same state.
