Technical FAQs 4

What is the Big Canberra battery project?

The Big Canberra Battery project will deliver an ecosystem of batteries across the ACT to ensure that our electricity grid remains stable. The Big Canberra Battery project includes: The large-scale battery storage system in Williamsdale will deliver 250 megawatts (MW) of power, store renewable energy and support grid reliability.

Will a big battery power Canberra?

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.

What does Williamsdale's battery storage system mean for Canberra?

The large-scale battery storage system in Williamsdale will deliver 250 megawatts (MW) of power, store renewable energy and support grid reliability. This is enough energy to power one-third of Canberra for two hours during peak demand periods. Behind-the-meter batteries were installed to help power essential services across nine government sites.

Will a 250 MW / 500 MWh battery energy storage system 'future proof' Canberra?

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.
