Infrastructure developer and investor Equis is seeking approval for a 200MW/800MWh battery storage project in Queensland, Australia.

New South Wales has pledged financial support to pumped hydro project, while state’s first grid-scale BESS is in full commercial operations.

Australia’s government has put its support behind two major transmission projects which will increase the utilisation of renewable energy.

Steps forward have been taken New South Wales, Australia, for the largest battery storage system anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere.

Second Renewable Energy Target auction held in Victoria, Australia, won by six solar PV projects, four of which include battery storage.

New South Wales’s single biggest ever investment in infrastructure will go towards enabling renewable energy additions across its networks.

The Australian state of New South Wales (NSW) has received proposals for more than 34GW of solar, wind and energy storage for its South-West Renewable Energy Zone (REZ), more than 10 times the likely capacity of the site.

An energy company owned by the government of Queensland has recognised the “important role” battery storage will play in creating Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) hubs in the Australian state. 

Stubbo Solar Farm and Battery, a project under development in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, which would pair 400MW of solar with 200MW / 200MWh of battery energy storage, has taken a step closer to going ahead.
