Australia's remarkable run of investment commitments to energy storage projects continued in Q1 2025. Six storage projects representing 1,510 MW (capacity) / 5,016 MWh (energy output) reached financial close – the second-highest quarterly result for newly financially committed storage projects.
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.
There are also 69 committed storage projects (either standalone or hybrid projects) currently in this pipeline, equivalent to 12,532 MW / 32,078 MWh in capacity / energy output. Read the latest updates from the Clean Energy Council and across the industry. When it comes to Australia’s energy future, communities have legitimate questions.
(ABC News: John Gunn) He's far from alone. About 75,000 battery storage systems were installed across Australia last year — up 47 per cent from 2023. That brings the total of home battery storage systems across the country to more than 320,000, according to solar energy consultancy SunWiz.
Even so, this buildout would result in a sevenfold increase in operational battery capacity over the next three years. Australia has a massive pipeline of grid-scale battery energy storage projects. 16.5 GW of new battery projects could arrive in the NEM in the next 3 years.
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.
