Connecting and Expanding Australia’s
Renewable Capacity Through Energy Storage
Thank You to Our 2024 Sponsors
Australia is home to some of the largest energy storage projects in the world, notably the Hornsdale Power Reserve in Southern Australia and the Waratah Super Battery project in New South Wales. The latter is expected to be the largest and most powerful battery storage system anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere, at a staggering 850MW/1680MWh.
With diverse terrain, plenty of space and a multi-faceted market offering varying opportunities and market structures across the country, Australia is fast becoming an ideal place to deploy energy storage, including both batteries and alternative chemistries. Large projects have taken off in the country, with 19 BESS projects built in the last year alone, totaling 2GW in installations.
Whilst there was a downward trend of private investment into the Australian renewable sector in early 2023, the recent federal government announcement to expand the Capacity Investment Scheme is expected to change this. This landmark decision to underwrite 32GW of renewable capacity – of which 9GW is purely energy storage - is considered by many to be the biggest investment into renewables in Australian history.
Key drivers for energy storage in Australia include the closure of many coal plants and a growing need to bridge the gap for renewable energy sources to ensure uninterrupted power supply. Energy and climate-related policies have been accelerated by both state and federal governments, and for many companies the time feels right to invest in energy storage.
Themes include enabling Australia’s transition to renewable energy, the impact of energy storage on the NEM, technology solutions, investment and revenue considerations as well as case studies from across Australia.
At Energy Storage Australia, the only standalone storage event in Australia you are guaranteed to meet all the most important investors, developers, IPPs, grid operators, policymakers, utilities, energy buyers, service providers, consultancies and technology providers under one roof, ensuring that your deals get done as efficiently as possible.
Join us on 21–22 May 2024 in Sydney to understand how you can get involved and make your mark on the rapidly evolving energy storage landscape in Australia.
