Canberrans will soon be able to draw on stored electricity generated by solar panels thanks to a $1.5 million Federal Government grant to install three community batteries in the capital. The batteries are about the size of a small van and can produce up to 160 kilowatts of power and store up to 400 kilowatt hours of energy.
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.
This energy can be saved to use when the sun isn't shining, reducing the site's electricity bills. The Big Canberra Battery project will support a more reliable electricity supply for the ACT. Energy demand can rise and fall throughout the day. Having access to stored electricity can help during peak times.
The large-scale battery storage system 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 will be installed to help power essential services across nine government sites.
The ACT Government has reached a major milestone in its work to future-proof Canberra’s energy supply. The development application has been approved to deliver Stream 1 of the project – a grid-scale battery in Williamsdale. This ACT Government has partnered with Eku Energy on this project. Construction will begin later this year.
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
