Canberra Microgrid & Solar Battery Push
With a goal to achieve 100% renewable electricity, Canberra is investing in solar and wind farms, EV infrastructure, and intelligent battery storage. The integration of microgrid and
The way has been cleared for construction to begin on a 250 MW / 500 MWh battery energy storage system that will help “future proof” the Australian Capital Territory's energy supply by reducing the load on Canberra's electricity network and increasing network reliability.
The ACT Government is building a big battery in Williamsdale. Construction has begun, in partnership with Eku Energy. This project is part of larger efforts to make Canberra a cleaner, greener city. Construction has begun the Williamsdale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).
The government said the big battery project will be capable of responding rapidly to network constraints and will be able to store enough renewable energy to power one-third of Canberra for two hours during peak demand periods. The Williamsdale battery will be developed, built and operated by Macquarie Group offshoot Eku Energy.
Construction has begun the Williamsdale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). The Williamsdale BESS is part of the ACT Government's Big Canberra Battery project. The beginning of construction is an important milestone in the ACT's journey toward a net-zero future. The Williamsdale BESS sits within the Evoenergy distribution network.
