500MWh solar-plus-storage site fast-tracked for
The Barwon Solar Farm, which was successful in the first Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) tender last year, will be located in the Little River
Image: Edify Energy. Renewable energy developer Elgin Energy has seen a 330MW solar-plus-storage site featuring a 250MW/500MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) fast-tracked by the Victoria government in Australia.
The project underscores SEC's commitment to providing affordable, renewable and reliable energy, empowering Victorians with public ownership of energy resources. The new solar and renewable energy storage facility will be developed by OX2 in two stages.
Six new solar farm projects totalling 623 MW of renewable capacity and four big batteries delivering up to 365 MW and 600 MWh of new energy storage have been given the tick of approval by the Victorian government as it looks to meet its target of powering all its operations with clean energy by 2025.
557 MW of commissioned energy storage capacity and 12 utility-scale storage projects with a combined capacity of 1,115 MW under construction or undergoing commissioning at 30 June 2024. Figure 4: Emissions from electricity generation in Victoria, 2013/14 to 2023/24
The energy park will comprise a solar facility and a battery energy storage system. The project will generate enough renewable energy to power 51,000 homes. Credit: SEC Victoria. In Australia, the State Electricity Commission of Victoria (SEC) has unveiled plans for the SEC renewable energy park, Horsham.
Other successful projects include the 95 MW Derby Solar Project and co-located 85 MW/100 MWh big battery being developed by Sungrow Renewable Energy in the state's central north, and Octopus Investments' 80 MW Fulham Solar Farm and 80 MW/100 MWh DC-coupled battery being developed in eastern Victoria.
