The ambitious project, led by Australia's Akaysha Energy, features an 850-megawatt/1,680-megawatt-hour battery energy storage system (BESS) that will act as a giant shock absorber, cushioning the electrical grid against instability.
"Renewables firmed by storage technologies such as big batteries are the lowest-cost and most practical option to transition Australia's energy system, decarbonise our electricity grid and keep the lights on." The remainder of the battery's capacity is due to be switched on by the end of the year.
As Australia brings more solar and wind energy onto the grid, ensuring reliability is priority number one.
