Technical FAQs 4

Are battery storage investments profitable in Australia?

Investments in battery storage within Australia's National Electricity Market (NEM) are increasingly profitable due to higher power price volatility and changing market dynamics, according to the latest report by Wood Mackenzie. Australia is a leader in renewables deployment, but battery storage investments have lagged.

How many battery energy storage systems were installed in Australia in 2023?

In 2023, Australia saw a record surge in utility-scale battery energy storage projects above 10 MWh, while residential and commercial installations also reached new highs. A record 57,000 residential battery energy storage systems, with a combined capacity of 656 MWh, were installed in Australian homes in 2023.

Is Australia's energy transition gaining'real measurable momentum'?

Australia’s energy transition is gaining “real measurable momentum” with the market operator reporting a record wave of new solar, wind, and energy storage projects are progressing through the grid connection process, at a larger scale than ever before. From pv magazine Australia

What will Project EnergyConnect do for South Australia?

When complete, Project EnergyConnect is expected to allow about 2.5 GW of new solar, wind and energy storage projects to connect into the grid. The interconnector will also reduce the risk of South Australia being “islanded” when its existing connection to the national grid, via Victoria, is lost.
