With ambitious climate targets – including 100% renewable electricity by 2025 – the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) relies on cutting-edge storage systems to stabilize its grid. Let''s explore how these projects work and
The objective was to expand renewable energy storage and future-proof Canberra''s energy supply. The project aims to deliver the next stage of the Big Canberra Battery by establishing a large-scale battery storage
The large-scale battery storage system will deliver 250 megawatts (MW) of power, store renewable energy and support grid reliability. Enough energy to power one-third of Canberra for two hours
This allows renewable energy to flow to homes and businesses across Canberra when demand is high and solar generation drops. The Big Canberra Battery will deliver at least 250 megawatts of power,
As heatwaves bake grids and storms knock out power lines, the Canberra reservoir serves as an energy insurance policy. During 2024''s “Black Summer 2.0” bushfires, early-stage storage capacity helped prevent
Over the next year, three new community-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) will be deployed across Canberra to optimize solar energy usage, stabilize grid demand, and encourage broader
Explore Canberra''s bold microgrid and solar battery push — community and grid-scale storage, peak demand reduction and renewable energy solutions with expert solar support.
The ACT Government is future-proofing Canberra''s energy supply by expanding its renewable energy storage with a new partnership with global specialist energy storage business, Eku Energy, launched by Macquarie''s
Discover how Canberra is quietly winning the clean energy race with solar adoption, battery storage, community programs and innovative renewable solutions for all.
The project will support 150 local jobs in the emerging clean energy sector. Battery storage technology is a key component of the ACT''s net-zero emissions future.
