The first quarter (Q1) of 2025 has seen a surge in investment for large-scale battery storage in Australia, with six projects worth a total of A$2.4bn ($1.5bn) reaching the financial commitment stage, according to the latest Clean Energy Australia Report 2025.
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.
The rise of battery storage capacity in Australia represents a pivotal shift in the energy landscape as batteries offer an increasingly cost-effective means to address the variability of renewable energy and ensure grid stability.
