The Wellington Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) will store excess renewable energy ready for use by homes and businesses during peak times. BESS projects play an important role in the future electricity system. Construction of the project will be undertaken by AMPYR's preferred construction contractors Fluence and RJE Global.
The project will be delivered by United States-based Fluence Energy, using its Gridstack energy storage product. Fluence has also entered into a 20-year operational service contract to service and maintain the Wellington Stage 1 BESS, with revenues to be optimised by the company's Mosaic and Nispera software platforms.
“The Wellington Stage 1 grid-scale battery represents a significant contribution to growing Australia's renewable energy capacity and strengthening its grid stability. Our partnership with Fluence will enable the delivery of competitively priced, reliable renewable energy to major Australian electricity users.
Financing for the Wellington Stage 1 BESS was led by a lender group including the Commonwealth Bank, HSBC, Rabobank, Bank of China, Societe Generale and United Overseas Bank. This content is protected by copyright and may not be reused.
