Queensland quadruples size of Stanwell Tesla battery to make it biggest in the state
The Queensland state Labor government has announced a quadrupling of the storage capacity for a big battery planned for the coal centre of Stanwell, as it continues to ramp up its battery plans to support its renewable energy targets.
The government announced on Thursday that the Stanwell battery, to be built next to the existing coal fired power generators near Rockhampton, would be expanded from the originally announced two hour battery sized at 150 MW and 300 MWh, to a four hour battery sized at 300 MW and 1,200 MWh.
