Onslow, Western Australia, is powered almost entirely by renewables, and the utility behind the project wants to roll out the technology.

E-mobility and energy storage company New HOrizons Ahead (NHOA) has started installation work on an LFP-based 100MW/200MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in Western Australia, the state’s largest.

Western Australia will retire its two state-owned coal power plants by 2030 and invest in renewable energy and energy storage.

Renewable energy developer ZEN Energy has taken on responsibility for a 600-800MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Western Australia while the regional government is funding a downstream graphite facility project for battery applications at the same location.

The government of Western Australia is funding work to assess a potential battery energy storage system (BESS) project which would be the biggest built in the state so far.

Horizon Power, an electricity supplier owned by the state government of Western Australia has begun commissioning community battery storage to allow nine remote towns to use more rooftop solar power. 

Further details of a 200MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) contract awarded to New HOrizons Ahead (NHOA) in Australia have been revealed. 

A remote town in Western Australia went fossil fuel-free for more than an hour, using a combination of solar power and battery storage and the project could be replicated by other isolated communities, the software provider behind it has said.

Australian Vanadium (AVL) and VSUN Energy have signed an agreement to work with the Future Batteries Industry Cooperative Research Centre (FBI CRC) on developing vanadium extraction and processing skills, particularly in Western Australia.
