Maoneng has received development approval for its proposed 240 MWp / 480 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Victoria, Australia.
The standalone BESS facility will be located adjacent to AusNet’s existing Tyabb substation. It will draw and store energy from the grid during off-peak periods and dispatch energy to the grid during peak periods, generating power for the equivalent of 40,000 average Australian homes.
The AU$190 million (US$135.9 million) project is scheduled for completion in mid-2023 and is expected to generate up to 160 full-time jobs during its 12-month construction phase, which will support local businesses and the economy.
