Overview

Valent Energy are developing a 240MW/650MW BESS in the Mornington Shire that will connect to our Tyabb Terminal Station.

Customer: Valent Energy.

What does this project involve?

We are constructing the transmission infrastructure for the project, including:

  • a substation within the BESS
  • an overhead transmission line connecting to our Tyabb Terminal Station
  • upgrading the terminal station to facilitate the BESS.

What this means for you

We are committed to minimising construction impacts on our customers and communities. Advance notice and regular updates will be provided to landowners if works will impact their property, and we’ll try to minimise interruptions wherever possible.

Following construction, we will perform remediation works to any disturbed areas, ensuring we leave the construction area in the same or better condition.
