Unlocking energy storage | Clean Energy Council

Energy storage technologies have a critical role to play in the development of an affordable, clean and secure energy system. However, there remains substantial work to be done to modernise Australia''s energy rules to unlock the true potential of energy storage and allow it to fully participate in the market and bring the benefits of the technology to both the grid …

Energy storage in Australia

Energy storage secures and stabilises energy supply, and services and cross-links the electricity, gas, industrial and transport sectors. It works on and off the grid, in passenger and freight transportation, and in homes as ''behind the meter'' batteries and thermal stores or heat pump systems.

Batteries and energy storage projects

The Ballarat Energy Storage System is located at the Ballarat Terminal Station in Warrenheip, Victoria. Spotless Sustainability Services lead the construction of the 30 megawatt (MW) / 30 megawatt-hour (MWh) battery. Fluence supplied the battery system. It is owned by AusNet Services and operated by Energy Australia.

Energy storage

Energy storage is an emerging industry in Australia expected to play an increasingly crucial role in the electricity market''s clean energy transition. A fleet of rapid-responding storage assets, both short and long duration, will be an important part of underpinning a balanced grid of the future. In particular, energy storage can capitalise ...
