How much money did Australia invest in battery energy storage projects?
Image: Powin Energy. More than AU$1 billion (US$0.65 billion) of financial commitments to large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) projects were made in Australia in the second quarter of this year. If hybrid (generation-plus-storage) projects were to also be counted, the investment commitments exceed AU$2 billion.

Which country has the largest battery energy storage system?
* This question is required. According to the report, the largest battery energy storage system (BESS) project to reach financial commitment in Q1 was in Wooreen, Victoria, boasting a storage capacity of 350MW and an energy output of 1.4GWh. South Australia led in terms of capacity, with projects totalling 640MW/1.8GWh.
Why should Australia invest in energy storage systems?
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.
