Interest in owning big batteries is a growing trend for electric companies and coal-plant owners as market revenue potential improves, particularly for newer, longer-duration battery energy storage systems (BESS).
Following the recent unprecedented renewable energy boom, 2019 is set to focus on how renewables can transform Australia’s energy generation mix. This is not being driven by ideology, but by economics. Energy storage will play an important role in this transformation.
Attractive renewable energy investment opportunities. Australia has the highest solar radiation of any continent. Around one third of households have roof-top solar power – the highest in the world. Vast coastal regions with average wind speeds above 9-12m/s.
ons, in the Australian power system. The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has indicated that 19 G of storage will be needed in 2030. This requires significant growth in capacity, in just over five years, from the 1.4 GW of batteries and 1.
There are limited commercially mature (bankable) energy storage options in Australia that are deployable in the near term, and the most widely deployed systems in Australia, lithium-ion batteries and pumped hydro, face supply chain risks and geographical constraints respectively.
The scenario results suggest that, across the NEM, an additional 11–14 GW/59–69 GWh of storage capacity will be required by 2030 (Figure 10). Large, committed energy storage projects to 2030 only account for around 3.7 GW.
