150 MW/150 MWh Battery Energy Storage System project Commissioned in Australia
ENGIE, together with Eku Energy and Fluence, has announced the commissioning of the 150 MW/150 MWh Hazelwood Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at the former Hazelwood Power Station site in Victoria, Australia.
Jointly funded and developed by ENGIE and Eku Energy, the battery system consists of 342 Gridstack Fluence modules that store the equivalent electricity generated by 30,000 homes solar arrays in the state.
Rik De Buyserie, CEO, ENGIE ANZ said: “ENGIE’s delivery of the Hazelwood battery is part of our commitment to building long-term, reliable assets that play a key role in the future of Australia’s energy transition. With its access to transmission and available space at site, Hazelwood is the perfect location for an asset that can grow in depth and duration, increasing the hosting capacity for renewables.”
The Hazelwood Power Station, built in the 1960s, was closed in 2017 following ENGIE's global green shift strategy to achieve Net Zero carbon by 2045.
