Finnish marine and energy technology group Wärtsilä has been contracted by Australian utility Origin Energy to deliver the third stage of the Eraring battery energy storage system (BESS) in New South Wales.
We hear from S&P Global Commodity Insights analysts and a former Fluence executive about the major trends shaping the competitive landscape of system integrators in the BESS industry.
Australian utility Origin Energy has officially approved the third stage of its Eraring battery energy storage system (BESS), bringing its facility in New South Wales to 2,800MWh.
Wärtsilä has carried out more large-scale fire tests on its battery storage units, which the system integrator claimed closely resemble real-life ‘worst-case scenario’ conditions.
Australian utility Origin Energy yesterday (30 October) confirmed it had started construction on the second phase of its 2.1GWh Eraring battery energy storage system (BESS) in New South Wales, Australia.
