massive battery energy storage project:
Tesla Megapack 2XL to power new giant 877 MWh Neoen battery project | Electrek"The Tesla Megapack 2XL is going to power a new giant
877 MWh battery project developed by France’s Neoen in Western Australia."
I guess the newly announced project with Tesla batteries is only part of a larger project.
"Neoen, one of the world’s leading producers of exclusively renewable energy, has been awarded a 197 MW / 4 hour capacity services contract by the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) in a competitive tender initiated by the Western Australian Coordinator of Energy. The service will be delivered by Stage 1 of Collie Battery sized at 219 MW / 877 MWh and consisting of 224 Tesla Megapack 2XL units. The project, which Neoen originated in 2021, received development approval for a total of 1 GW /
4 GWh in December 2022. The battery will be located near the town of Collie, on the country of the Wilman people of the Bibbulmun nation, in the South West region of Western Australia (WA). It will connect to Western Power’s Shotts Terminal substation, which is part of the South-West Interconnected System (SWIS), a separate network to the one on the eastern coast of Australia."
"If the project is completed to its full approved capacity of 4 GWh, it would become the biggest battery system in the world."
