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.
Canberra Times: ground breaking ceremony, plugging in profits from a big battery. ITP Renewables was engaged by EKU Energy to provide expert planning support throughout the development and delivery phases of the 250 MW Big Canberra Battery system, which will begin powering one-third of Canberra households from 2025.
Battery storage will play an increasing role in Canberra’s electricity grid as we move towards electrifying our city and achieving net zero emissions by 2045. Renewable energy such as wind and solar energy make electricity that large-scale batteries can store. Batteries help support the electricity grid when the sun and wind can’t.
Canberra ranks high for solar potential, averaging over 4.5 hours of peak sun daily. Without storage, most of that energy is exported at low feed-in tariffs—typically 7–12 ¢/kWh. Battery storage changes the game by allowing you to:
