Selection of the battery operator will be made in late 2024 following a procurement process. 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 has inched a step closer to being built, with the ACT government announcing it will partner with Eku Energy to deliver the mass-energy storage device. Eku Energy will design, build, run, and ultimately own the 250-megawatt battery, which will be located at Williamsdale, south of the Tuggeranong town centre.
The government said the big battery project will be capable of responding rapidly to network constraints and will be able to store enough renewable energy to power one-third of Canberra for two hours during peak demand periods. The Williamsdale battery will be developed, built and operated by Macquarie Group offshoot Eku Energy.
The Government has partnered with Eku Energy to deliver the next stage of the Big Canberra Battery with a large-scale battery storage facility in Williamsdale.
Eku Energy Asia Pacific director and chief investment officer Daniel Burrows said he was "proud and humbled" to be responsible for the delivery of the Big Canberra Battery. "We look forward to delivering safe, secure and reliable energy to the grid," Mr Burrows said.
The Big Canberra Battery will have more capacity than South Australia's 150 megawatt Hornsdale battery. (ABC News: Lincoln Rothall) The Big Canberra Battery has inched a step closer to being built, with the ACT government announcing it will partner with Eku Energy to deliver the mass-energy storage device.
