4 Frequently Asked Questions about “Canberra grid-scale energy storage - ID Solar Energy Systems”
What does the Big Canberra battery mean for EKU energy?
The Big Canberra Battery represents a significant milestone for Eku Energy as we celebrate our first GWh of battery energy storage in delivery in Australia. This brings our global portfolio of battery energy storage assets to over 4GWh.
Will a big battery power Canberra?
The government said the big battery project will be capable of responding rapidly to network constraints and will be able to store enough renewable energy to power one-third of Canberra for two hours during peak demand periods. The Williamsdale battery will be developed, built and operated by Macquarie Group offshoot Eku Energy.
What is the Big Canberra battery?
The Big Canberra Battery will play a crucial role in managing peak electricity use demand and in supporting the ACT's transition to a more sustainable energy future. For technical specifications of our work on the Big Canberra Battery, or to discuss engaging us on similarly ambitious battery storage projects, please contact our team.
Who is delivering the Big Canberra battery in Williamsdale?
The Government has partnered with Eku Energy to deliver the next stage of the Big Canberra Battery with a large-scale battery storage facility in Williamsdale.
