What is the Big Canberra battery project?

The Big Canberra Battery project will provide renewable energy security across the electricity grid. It will help grow the ACT’s renewable energy sector, provide more local employment opportunities, and deliver a positive financial return for the territory. Building a cleaner future

Will a big battery power Canberra?

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.

Will big battery power a third of Canberra households in ?

Canberra Times: ground breaking ceremony, plugging in profits from a big battery. ITP Renewables was engaged by EKU Energy to provide expert planning support throughout the development and delivery phases of the 250 MW Big Canberra Battery system, which will begin powering one-third of Canberra households from .

Will Canberra's energy supply be future-proof?

The ACT Government has reached a major milestone in its work to future-proof Canberra’s energy supply. The development application has been approved to deliver Stream 1 of the project – a grid-scale battery in Williamsdale. This ACT Government has partnered with Eku Energy on this project. Construction will begin later this year.

How many jobs will the Big Canberra battery create?

The Big Canberra Battery will have 500 MWh of capacity, which on a single charge could supply 23,400 households with their daily energy use. Approximately 180–200 jobs will also be created through the project. More batteries for Canberra

Why is the Big Canberra battery a significant milestone for EKU energy?

Eku Energy CEO, Dan Burrows, said that the Big Canberra Battery represents a significant milestone for Eku Energy as it marks its first GWh of projects in delivery in Australia. “We are proud to be working in partnership with the ACT Government to deliver the development of the first stream of the Big Canberra Battery,” Mr Burrows said.
