Spanish energy giant unveils two huge battery storage projects in Australia

Posted by in category: energy

Spanish energy giant Iberdrola has revealed two new battery storage projects in Australia – its biggest yet in the country – that will take its total capacity to more than 1,500 gigawatt hours.

The new batteries are a 250 megawatt (MW)/ 500 megawatt hour (MWh) Gin Gin project near Bundaberg in Queensland – although its EPBC application describes it only as a 500 MW project – and the 270 MW, 1,080 MWh Kingswood project in New South Wales (NSW).

To date, Iberdrola’s non-gas firming portfolio has been on the smaller side, making up just a fraction of the company’s 2.4 GW of installed renewables in Australia.
