This allows renewable energy to flow to homes and business across Canberra when demand is high and solar generation drops. Construction is now underway on concrete bases for the batteries and the main switching building. This stored energy will be used to support our electricity grid. The Big Canberra battery. . This goal was reached in 2020 when the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) — home to the nation's half a million-strong capital, Canberra — had enough renewable electricity to make coal and gas obsolete. This 250MW/400MWh lithium-ion battery facility – equivalent to powering 100,000 homes for 4 hours – exemplifies how grid-scale storage bridges renewable energy gaps. . Batteries will play a key role in the electricity system by reinforcing the quality of the grid's supply and boosting the penetration of renewables at times of low electricity production, which is a key milestone in the energy transition.
