purchase in Australia. lithium-ion technologies. installed indoors. This report is a comprehensive analysis of the Australian energy storage market, covering residential, commercial, large-scale, on-grid, off-grid and micro-grid energy storage.
The report identifies 55 Australian large-scale energy storage projects which are either existing, planned or proposed. Excluding pumped hydro, these represent over 4 GWh of storage. 9 gigawatts (GW) of capacity have been completed, planned or are in the pipeline. Of those, 19 have been completed and another 36 have reached financial close.
Energy storage systems, such as big batteries, are a critical part of Australia’s future energy mix and act as a reliable back-up system allowing us to store renewable energy for when it is needed most and keep the lights on under all conditions. It’s great to see the high levels of investment we’ve seen over the past couple of years continue.
In addition to 55 Australian large-scale energy storage projects, the Smart Energy Council has identified more than 120 large-scale solar projects. These large-scale solar projects, totalling more than 9 GW, have been completed, commissioned or are in the pipeline. Many would be suitable for energy storage to be added.
