Canberra Times: ground breaking ceremony, plugging in profits from a big battery. ITP Renewables was engaged by EKU Energy to provide expert planning support throughout the development and delivery phases of the 250 MW Big Canberra Battery system, which will begin powering one-third of Canberra households from 2025.
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.
The Big Canberra Battery will have 500 MWh of capacity, which on a single charge could supply 23,400 households with their daily energy use. Approximately 180–200 jobs will also be created through the project. More batteries for Canberra
