Neoen Australia has commenced construction of a 227MW/907MWh grid-forming battery storage system in South Australia.

South Australia is set to open a tender seeking 700MW of long-duration energy storage to bolster grid reliability.

Potentia Energy, a joint venture co-owned by Enel Green Power and INPEX, has secured the first environmental approval for a grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) under South Australia’s new Hydrogen and Renewable Energy (HRE) Act.
