Neoen has issued notices to proceed to Tesla and UGL, signaling the commencement of construction for its 200 MW/400 MWh Western Downs Battery Storage project located in South West Queensland, Australia.
The battery, comprised of Tesla Megapack units, will utilize the existing infrastructure of Neoen's Western Downs Green Power Hub, which consists of a 460 MWp solar farm nearing completion. Powerlink will connect the battery to the transmission network through a dedicated high-voltage line near to the Western Downs substation. Early development is underway, and the project is anticipated to begin operations in the summer of 2024/25.
Western Downs Battery is intended to help in the modernization and stabilization of the Queensland grid.
