Neil Fraser, Australian Head of Energy at CBA said, “We are delighted to support Amp in this landmark transaction which represents the first fully merchant battery financed by commercial banks in Australia. Bungama’s strategic location near Port Pirie has the highest penetration of renewable energy generation in mainland Australia.
There are 16.8 GW of battery projects that could come online in the National Electricity Market (NEM) by the end of 2027. This would result in a ninefold increase in battery energy storage capacity in just three years - with 2 GW operational today. So what is driving this battery build?
Australia’s NEM will see a massive increase in grid-scale battery energy storage capacity in the next three years. There are 16.8 GW of battery projects that could come online in the National Electricity Market (NEM) by the end of 2027.
Battery storage is now key to Australia’s clean energy transition. It stabilizes supply by storing extra renewable energy and delivering it on demand, even when solar or wind output drops. This helps prevent blackouts and ensures steady green energy flow. BESS installations are expected to double by 2027.
