New South Wales’ New England region is charging ahead with its energy transformation, as work begins on its first large-scale battery system.
The 200MW, two-hour battery is the first of two planned systems built by Energy Vault, to be located at ACEN Australia’s 720MW New England Solar project.
Once complete, the project will be able to provide energy on demand to customers in both New South Wales and Queensland.
The 400MWh storage project will also involve the integration of advanced grid-forming inverters to provide system strength, stability, and network security services.
It is the first large-scale battery storage project to begin construction with the support of the New South Wales Government’s Emerging Energy Program.
Energy Vault CEO and Chairman, Robert Piconi, joined the team from New England Solar and ACEN Australia Head of Construction and Engineering, Tim Greenaway, to inspect the battery site.
