Overview
The Great Western Battery is a proposed 500 MW stand-alone battery in NSW.
The name was chosen due to the project’s proximity to the Great Western Highway, one of Australia’s earliest inland roads.
The battery will be able to provide a variety of services to the grid including frequency control and load shifting, which are both necessary for the development of more renewable energy.
Battery
Battery storage allows us to store the energy and reinject it into the grid whenever it’s needed.
