Syncline Energy has revealed plans to build the Melton Renewable Energy Hub, a big battery project, near Melbourne. It will be located next to the Sydenham terminal station and will connect to the state’s main 500 kV transmission backbone.
The big battery project has been fast-tracked by the Victorian government under its planning scheme amendment. The company hopes to reach financial close by the second quarter of 2022, with production to begin by the second half of 2023 to support the network over that summer.
The Australian company will own and operate the project, which will also include a solar farm to supply the battery’s ancillary cooling loads and ensure low cost, net-zero operations.
