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.
The MGA Thermal Energy Storage Project will design, manufacture and operate a 0.5 MW th / 5 MWh th demonstration-scale thermal energy storage (TES) system using MGA Thermal’s proprietary Miscibility Gap Alloy (MGA) technology. Strong uptake of variable renewable energy is driving a requirement for storage in Australia’s electricity markets.
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.
In exchange, the Territory will provide Eku Energy with fixed quarterly payments over a period of 15 years. The Big Canberra Battery project is delivering an ecosystem of batteries at different scales. More information about the Big Canberra Battery is available on the Everyday Climate Choices website.
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.
