Completed projects

Partner: Neoen

Location: 13 km north-west of Geelong, Victoria

Assets constructed:

• 300MW/450 MwH Battery consisting of 210 Telsa Megapacks.
• 250 MW/125MWhr System Integrity Protection Service protection to increase import capability during summer.
• 50 MW/325 MWhr for trading in the energy markets – this reduces costs for customers.
• Co-developed and connected to our Moorabool Terminal Station next to the battery site.

Construction completed: August 2021.

Commissioning achieved: December 2021.

The Victorian Big Battery is an innovative example of the Victorian transmission network transitioning to a renewable and decentralised future. It helps to keep the network stable and reliable while paving the way for greater wind and solar energy use in the future.

In partnership with Neoen, the battery was delivered in under three years from initial planning to operation. The battery stores enough energy to power over one million homes for half an hour in the event of a power outage. It aims to reduce electricity costs for consumers and the frequency of outages.
