The New South Wales government in Australia is investing AU$3 million (US$2.1 million) to scope new solar-plus-storage-powered microgrid projects across four remote communities in the state’s Far West.
Construction has officially started on the 200MW/400MWh Steel River East battery energy storage system (BESS) in Newcastle, New South Wales, marking the first project delivery for developer PLUS Grid Storage.
The Port of Newcastle has become the first port in New South Wales, Australia, to be approved to safely store grid-scale lithium-ion battery storage systems.
