Australia-based investor Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners has submitted plans to the federal government for a 750MW battery energy storage system (BESS) co-located with a proposed polysilicon plant in Townsville, Queensland.
Australia’s Queensland government is set for crunch talks with Queensland Hydro to “save” the 2GW/48GWh Borumba pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) project, with its cost having increased to AU$18 billion (US$11.5 billion) and been delayed by three years.
With the opening of the Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) tender 3 in Australia last Wednesday (13 November), one major question from the state allocations presented in the market briefing was why Queensland had been granted no capacity.
Whitehaven Energy, a subsidiary of coal producer Whitehaven Coal and renewable energy generator and retailer Pacific Blue, landed key milestones in developing solar-plus-storage projects in Australia last week.
