AGL''s 500 MW / 1,000 MWh Liddell battery energy storage system is taking shape with the recent installation of the first of more than of 1,500 battery units planned for the project site in the New South Wales Hunter Valley.
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.
Alongside the Eraring BESS, the 850MW/1,680MWh Waratah Super Battery in New South Wales is also set to be fully operational in August 2025. Akaysha Energy, a developer backed by asset manager BlackRock, is behind the energy storage project, which was previously deemed a ‘giant shock absorber’ for the grid.
So far in 2024, 591 MW of new battery capacity has begun trading in the NEM - just behind the 610 MW deployed in 2023. Half of this has come in Queensland, tripling battery energy storage capacity in the state. Grid-scale BESS power capacity (MW) Source: AEMO Generation Information, Modo Energy
The deployment of two-hour systems in 2024 means the total energy capacity of battery energy storage in the NEM has reached 3 GWh, up from 2 GWh at the end of 2023. This has increased the fleet's average duration to 1.6 hours, up from 1.4 hours a year ago. Grid-scale BESS power (MW) and energy storage capacity (MWh)
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?
Alongside Neoen, other private developers have deployed a further 1.1 GW of battery energy storage capacity. This is led by Eku Energy (through its two joint ventures with Shell and Engie), Edify Energy, and Vena Energy. Private developers account for three-quarters of BESS capacity operational today.
