Technical FAQs 4

Where will Ausgrid's battery energy storage systems be located?

New South Wales electricity distributor Ausgrid is proposing two, 200 MW / 400 MWh battery energy storage systems to be located in the north coast regional city of Newcastle, and Sydney suburb of Homebush.

How is electricity stored in Australia?

This means a more reliable and constant supply of energy on and off-grid. 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.

What is the Big Battery Storage Map of Australia?

The Big Battery Storage Map of Australia is a map that includes all big battery projects of 10MW or 10MWh and above. It categorizes projects as 'Operating', 'Construction', 'Announced', or 'Under Development'.

What is battery storage?

Battery storage involves the use of a battery to store energy for use when required. Technically, it is the conversion of electrical energy into chemical potential energy for storage followed by reconversion of chemical potential energy into electrical energy when desired.
