AGL has taken the final investment decision (FID) of AUD41 million (US$30.80 million) with the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) for its 50 MW/50 MWh Broken Hill battery storage project in New South Wales in Australia.
The 50 megawatts (MW), 50-megawatt hour (MWh) battery will be supplied by Fluence and its consortium partner Valmec. The Broken Hill battery will include advanced inverter technology, providing system strength services in weak parts of the grid, and is part of AGL’s planned 850 MW grid-scale battery network currently under development.
The project will be located on industrial land around 6 km northwest of Broken Hill airport, with the completion date set for early 2023.
