The ACT Government is future-proofing Canberra’s energy supply by expanding its renewable energy storage with a new partnership with global specialist energy storage business, Eku Energy, launched by Macquarie’s Green Investment Group.
The Big Canberra Battery project will provide renewable energy security across the electricity grid, help the ACT grow its renewable energy sector, provide more local employment opportunities, and deliver a positive financial return for the Territory.
The Big Canberra Battery represents a significant milestone for Eku Energy as we celebrate our first GWh of battery energy storage in delivery in Australia. This brings our global portfolio of battery energy storage assets to over 4GWh.
This stored energy will be used to support our electricity grid. The Big Canberra battery transformer was delivered to the Williamsdale site in early September 2025. The transformer ensures electricity stored in the battery is converted to the correct voltage to be safely supplied to the grid.
