Released 13/04/2023 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 battery will also provide a range of energy and essential system security services. In exchange, the Territory will provide Eku Energy with fixed quarterly payments over a period of 15 years. The Big Canberra Battery project is delivering an ecosystem of batteries at different scales.
This 250-megawatt (MW), 500 megawatt-hour (MWh) battery energy storage system (BESS) is part of the Big Canberra Battery project and can store enough renewable energy to power one-third of Canberra for two hours during peak demand periods. The BESS will cost between $300 and $400 million and will be developed, built, and operated by Eku Energy.
The economics of energy storage systems is dependent on the services and markets that exist on the electrical grid. These value streams can vary by region, electrical system, and grid domain (i.e., transmission, distribution, customer-sited).
