The Government of ACT has awarded a contract to build a 107 MW Berrybank-Stage2 wind farm to Global Power Generation (GPG), a joint venture of Naturgy Energy Group, SA (75%) and Kuwait Investment Authority (25%), located approximately 150 km from Melbourne, in the state of Victoria, Australia.
Additionally, and as part of the commitments associated with the wind farm project, GPG has committed to installing a 20 MWh battery energy storage system located within the Australian Capital Territory, which will allow supporting the distribution network of ACT at the Queanbeyan substation, in collaboration with TransGrid, the region's transportation network service provider.
The Berrybank-Stage2 wind farm will involve a total investment of AUD215 million (US$156.89 million) and will come into operation in the second half of 2022.
The contract awarded is a 10-year Deed of Entitlement with a regulated tariff, for an energy equivalent to 100 MW of capacity.
