VSUN Energy: Grid storage solutions for all?, page-51

good timing, things definitely getting a wriggle on in this space, imo

the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) recently conducted a large scale storage and flexible capacity expression of interest process which has attracted interest from the Victorian State Govt.  Expressions of interest from utility-scale battery storage businesses are being sought by 1 March 2017, to the Victorian Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning.

Minister for Energy & Environment Lily D’Ambrosio says “We are in the midst of a major global transformation and we’re making sure Victoria is equipped with the next generation of energy technologies that will support a resilient energy system.”

“The 20MW battery will be the first of its kind for Australia, it will help to modernise Victoria’s electricity grid, enhance energy security and deliver affordable energy.” “We’re taking the action required to ensure reliable and affordable energy supply for Victorians while we deliver on our renewable energy targets.”
