Alinta Energy is planning to build a 100 MW/200 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project located at Wagerup Power Station, a dual-fired 380MW gas and distillate generation facility, in Western Australia.
Shanghai Electric Power Design Institute (SEPD) Australia, a local subsidiary of SEPD, which is in turn owned by Power Construction Corporation of China (POWERCHINA), and Australian solar photovoltaic and battery provider Sunterra have been appointed as contractors for the development of the BESS project.
The construction of the Wagerup project, first flagged by Alinta in 2021, is expected to commence immediately, with the commissioning of the big battery scheduled for the second half of 2024.
