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
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.
In operation, the Wellington BESS will be one of the largest in the state, capable of contributing up to 1,000 MWh of storage capacity in the NEM. The project will also provide benefits in the form of smoothing out energy spot prices and providing back-up power during network interruptions.
Close proximity to the Wellington TransGrid Substation – the BESS substation is proposed to be positioned approximately 300 m west of the Wellington TransGrid Substation thereby minimising transmission line distances and allows for the co-location of energy infrastructure.
Upgrade of the Wellington substation will comprise an extension to the existing infrastructure elements on that site. No change. Detailed design for the project has yet to be completed. The following design elements may be amended throughout the detailed design process: the location of attenuation features (noise wall/bunds) and fencing.
