EDF Group to co-develop 300 MW/3 GWh pumped hydro energy storage project in Australia
EDF Group has acquired and agreed to co-develop the proposed 300 MW/3 GWh Dungowan pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) project at the Dungowan Dam in the New England region of New South Wales (NSW), Australia.
The project has been acquired from Mirus Energy and Energy Estate, which will continue their involvement as co-developers while GE Renewable Energy Hydro Solutions will provide technical and commercial support in the development of the project.
The Dungowan PHES is part of the 4 GW Walcha Energy Project in New South Wales and is proposed to have a capacity of 300 MW for up to 10 hours of duration and will be located downstream of the water reservoir.
The NSW government provided pre-investment studies funding for the Dungowan PHES project in 2019 as part of the emerging energy program. The project has been under development since 2014.
