How is energy stored in Australia?

Currently storage of electrical energy in Australia consists of a small number of pumped hydroelectric facilities and grid-scale batteries, and a diversity of battery storage systems at small scale, used mainly for backup. To balance energy use across the Australian economy, heat and fuel (chemical energy) storage are also required.

Why should we use batteries in Canberra?

Batteries can store excess renewable energy to be used at later times of higher demand - thereby extending the benefit of renewable energy into the evenings. It will increase the renewable energy hosting capacity across the ACT enabling more Canberrans to access the benefits of renewables.

How much power will the Big Canberra battery deliver?

The Big Canberra Battery will be capable of delivering 250 MW of power – more than a third of Canberra’s peak electricity demand. It will be able to deliver this power for two hours. 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.

What is the Big Canberra battery project?

Through this, three medium-sized neighbourhood-scale batteries will be installed in Casey, Dickson and Fadden. A battery operator will be selected in late 2024 following a procurement process. The Big Canberra Battery project will provide renewable energy security across the electricity grid.

How many jobs will the Big Canberra battery create?

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

Will Canberra's energy supply be future-proof?
