[First Man speaking]: This is one of the first energy storage projects in Australia. We expect this to really get the ball going. What that’s going to do is, is deliver much greater flexibility that’s needed to improve reliability, resilience, and lower cost.

[Second Man speaking]: A lot of technology, a lot of innovation and batteries are going to be a key component of that.  

[Description]: We see a group of people in high vis shirts, safety glasses and hard hats looking at the new battery installation.

[Second Man speaking]: Generation of electricity happens at different times. Batteries allow us to store that energy now and make it available when the community needs it, and our customers need it most. 

[Description]: We see aerial views of the large battery storage.

[Third Man speaking]: So, we’ve sited the battery in our Ballarat terminal station.

[Third Man speaking]: So, it’s located in the western part of Victoria. Very central to where we’re seeing a lot of renewable energy development and it’s going to play a very significant role in network support in this area.

[Fourth Man speaking]: Through our long relationship with AusNet, we were able to bring our construction experience DNA pedigree to bring the project to life.

And close-up views of the large battery storage units.

[Fifth Man speaking]: Wind and solar are now the lowest cost forms of bulk generation. What we’re now turning our minds to is how do we ensure that the grid is secure and reliable so that increasing amounts of solar, and wind can come into the market.

And aerial and close-up views of the large battery storage units.

[Sixth Man speaking]: So, really exciting to see this kind of an effort come together.
