Construction of Stage 1 (300MW / 2 hours) will start mid-2025, finishing early 2027. 2 TWh by 2030 [3], the Wellington facility isn't just big – it's strategically big. Here's what makes it click-worthy: This 800MWh behemoth can power 60,000 homes for 4 hours. That's like having 6 million smartphone batteries working in. . MEGATRON 1500V 344kWh liquid-cooled and 340kWh air cooled energy storage battery cabinets are an integrated high energy density,long lasting,battery energy storage system. BESS projects play an important role in the future electricity system. Construction of the project will be undertaken by AMPYR's preferred construction. . When Cyclone Gabrielle knocked out power in 2024, Wellington's ESS became the superhero no one knew they needed: Most energy storage systems are like basic thermoses – they keep things hot or cold.
