While the combined installed capacity of these batteries is large, they can only dispatch electricity for about two hours at full discharge, so their energy storage capacity is
Australia is home to the world''s first ''big'' battery: the 100 MW Hornsdale Power Reserve, constructed in 2017. Since then, investment in grid-scale battery energy storage in Australia''s
Our BESS systems are all-weather suited, with three different cabinet variations to suit any weather environment. With isolated output and online UPS for grid-connected applications,

Large-scale installations, known as grid-scale or large-scale battery storage, can function as significant power sources within the energy network. Smaller batteries can be used in homes for backup power or can be coordinated in a system called a Virtual Power Plant (VPP). VPPs are being actively trialled. The current climate
In addition to the six projects that reached financial commitment, a further three battery storage projects commenced construction in the first quarter of 2025, with a total of 840 MW / 2.9 GWh in storage capacity / energy output.
Our monitoring software allows for remote system configuration and analysis to both increase power security and improve systems management. Our battery energy storage systems are perfect for energy shifting and peak lopping, making them an excellent choice for any renewable energy project. Ready to Power Your Life?
Tasmania, the final region in the NEM, currently has no grid-scale battery energy storage capacity. When Hornsdale Power Reserve opened in 2017, it was the biggest battery energy storage system in the world. Four years later, when Neoen opened the 300 MW Victorian Big Battery in 2021, it was the joint-largest (by power capacity) in the world.
