ACEN commenced a 50 MWh battery project within 720 MW solar farm in Australia
ACEN Australia, a listed energy platform of the Ayala Group has announced the successful commencement of a 50 MWh battery project connected to its New England Solar Farm in Uralla, New South Wales.
The New England solar farm has a capacity of 720 MW. It will produce 1,800 GWh of electricity per annum, enough to power around 250,000 homes annually and will offset up to 1.5 million metric tons of CO2 per year.
Combined with the solar farm, the battery storage system will be one of Australia’s largest co-located solar and battery energy storage facilities, helping to support a more stable electricity network. The BESS will improve system strength and grid reliability, allowing more low-cost renewable energy to connect to the grid, lowering prices for New South Wales consumers.
Construction of the first 400MWac / 520MWdc stage of the New England Solar project is due to be completed in 2023
