The Morrison government has allocated $15 million towards the building of a 100 megawatt "big battery" in Western Australia.
The new money - which forms part of a $28.5 million investment in energy infrastructure in WA announced by federal Energy Minister Angus Taylor on Friday - will help create Australia's second biggest battery after South Australia's Hornsdale battery.
There was also extra money for the extension of WA's microgrids program to deliver affordable and reliable power to more regional and remote towns.
