Milestone for Big Canberra Battery
This ACT Government has partnered with Eku Energy on this project. Construction will begin later this year. The Big Canberra Battery will be capable of delivering 250 MW of
The Government says the battery will deliver at least 250 megawatts of power, enough stored renewable energy to supply one-third of Canberra for two hours during peak demand.
The battery operator will be selected later this year process. “The Big Canberra Battery project will provide renewable energy security across the electricity grid, help the ACT grow its renewable energy sector, provide more local employment opportunities, and deliver a positive financial return for the Territory,” Mr Barr said.
The large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) will provide at least 250 megawatts (MW) of power. This is enough energy to power one-third of Canberra for two hours during peak demand periods. This stored energy will be used to support our electricity grid.
The Big Canberra Battery will have 500 MWh of capacity, which on a single charge could supply 23,400 households with their daily energy use. Approximately 180–200 jobs will also be created through the project. More batteries for Canberra
