ACEN Australia has been granted permission by the New South Wales state government to expand its New England solar battery to 1.4 GW / 2.8 GWh, making it Australia's biggest battery. The project was initially intended to be a 200 MW, two-hour battery, but the expansion was approved alongside ACEN's 720 MW New England solar farm.
The expansion of ACEN's New England solar battery highlights the growing demand for renewable energy storage and contributes significantly to the development of the renewable energy sector in Australia.
The mega battery will play a vital role in providing a stable and consistent power supply in New South Wales, especially on cloudy and rainy days.
