Australia's big battery boom

By GILES PARKINSON

The Torrens Island battery

One of the biggest of the new contenders, the Torrens Island battery packs in 250MW and 250MWh. The battery is being built on the site of soon-to-be-shuttered gas fired power stations.

The Chinchilla battery

This 100MW, two-hour battery in Queensland is being built next to the biggest single coal unit in the country, at Kogan Creek.

The Capital Battery

This Canberra-based battery will be Neoen's fourth big battery in Australia, and will help support the ACT's big electrification plans.

The Tailem Bend Battery

The Tailem Bend battery in south Australia (41MW/41MWh) is being built next to stage 2 of the Tailem Bend solar farm by Vena Energy.

The Bouldercombe battery

The 50MW/100MWh Bouldercombe battery in central Queensland is being built by Genex Power, who are also building the first pumped hydro project in the country for four decades.
