Neoen & Tesla Will Install A 197 MW/788 MWh Battery In Western Australia
French energy company Neoen is starting construction of a new 197 MW battery storage project with four hours worth of capacity in Western Australia.Australia is drenched in sunshine most of the time, which makes it an ideal location for solar power. That’s good. But as more solar energy gets added, it comes close towith an abundance of renewable energy during the midday hours while not being available in the late afternoon and early evening hours when demand for electricity highest. That’s bad.
The key to the success of renewable energy is to capture most of it when it is abundant and make it available to the grid when it is needed, a process known as time shifting. Western Australia is unique in that its electrical grid is not interconnected with those in other Australian states or territories. Partly, that is because of the enormous distances between Western Australia and the rest of the country, which mean Western Australia is on its own when it comes to managing its grid.
The Collie Battery is Neoen’s sixth big battery in Australia, bringing its total Australian storage assets to over 1.1 GW in operation or under construction, and further cementing its position as the country’s leading developer, owner, and operator of batteries. It already owns and operates the 300 MW/450 MWh Victorian Big Battery in Geelong and the 150 MW/193.5 MWh Hornsdale Power Reserve in South Australia.
