240 MWp/480 MWh BESS project in Australia receives Grid-connection approval
Australian renewable energy company Maoneng has secured a grid-connection assessment approval from the Australian Energy Market Operator to connect the standalone 240MWp / 480MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to AusNet’s existing Tyabb substation in the southern part of the Victorian grid.
The Mornington BESS received development approval in January 2022 and is scheduled for completion in early 2024. The project will draw and store energy from the grid during off-peak periods and dispatch energy to the grid during peak periods, generating power for the equivalent of 40,000 average Australian homes.
The project requires about AUD190 million (US$135.90 million) of investment and will be utilizing lithium iron phosphate (LFP) technology.
