German energy utility RWE has reached a final investment decision on the 50 MW/400 MWh Limondale battery energy storage system to be built alongside its existing 249 MW Limondale Solar Farm near Balranald in New South Wales (NSW), Australia.
The Limondale storage system will have a maximum output of 50 MW and a storage capacity of 400 MWh, enabling it to operate at full power for eight hours before recharging. Tesla, an American manufacturer, will supply its Megapack batteries for the project, while Beon Energy Solutions from Australia will handle the balance-of-plant works, including civil, structural, electrical, and control tasks required to connect the battery to the existing 33 kV substation. Construction of the Limondale battery energy storage system is set to begin in the second half of this year, with commissioning of the 400 MWh system expected in late 2025.
