AGL to use Wartsila, Fluence batteries in 1 GW Australian storage projects

AGL Energy Limited has selected Wärtsilä and Fluence as the two suppliers for their up to 1,000 MW grid-scale energy storage plans. Wärtsilä has signed a non-exclusive five-year Large Scale Storage System Frame Agreement to supply energy storage projects in partnership with AGL. This agreement will reduce tender timeframes for individual projects, enabling faster project schedules and commercial operation.

AGL plans to develop energy storage installations near the Loy Yang A power station in Victoria (200 MW), Liddell power station (150 MW) and Broken Hill (50 MW) in New South Wales, and Torrens Island (250 MW) in South Australia.
