The ACT Government is delivering battery storage systems including a 100 kW behind-the-meter battery at Mount Stromlo High School as part of its Big Canberra Battery project.
Over the next year, three new community-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) will be deployed across Canberra to optimize solar energy usage, stabilize grid demand, and
The large-scale battery storage system will deliver 250 megawatts (MW) of power, store renewable energy and support grid reliability. Enough energy to power one-third of Canberra for two
Battery storage is becoming the new norm in solar schools, with more than 130 facilities across the country adopting storage solutions, aiming to unlock energy and emission savings and
Energy Storage is critical for ACT''s 100% renewables and net-zero target. Helps to put downward pressure on electricity price paid by ACT consumers. Reduces the need for electricity network
The behind-the-meter battery stores excess solar energy generated onsite and helps power the school in the evenings and overnight, cutting electricity bills and easing pressure on the grid.
As part of the Big Canberra Battery project, the ACT Government is delivering battery storage systems including a 100 kW behind-the-meter battery at Mount Stromlo High School.
This initiative includes the deployment of three distributed energy storage units in the Casey, Dickson, and Fadden distribution zones, with commissioning scheduled for the first quarter of 2025.
This ACT Government has partnered with Eku Energy on this project. Construction will begin later this year. The Big Canberra Battery will be capable of delivering 250 MW of power – more
Canberra is taking bold steps towards a sustainable future, with recent initiatives set to transform how we generate, store, and use energy. Here''s what you, as a Canberra resident, need to
