Neoen’s Collie battery to be Australia’s biggest after winning new contract to flatten solar duck
French renewable energy and storage developer Neoen is to nearly triple the size of its already giant Collie battery, making it the biggest in the country after winning another contract to help flatten the growing solar duck curve and fill in for coal in Western Australia.
The contract win means Neoen will add a 341 MW, 1363 MWh second stage battery to the Collie facility. Its first stage, already under construction, is sized at 219 MW and 877 MWh. Both are to be built with Tesla Megapack batteries, and by contractor UGL.
