Big Canberra Battery – Williamsdale BESS
The large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) will provide at least 250 megawatts (MW) of power. This is enough energy to power one-third of Canberra for two hours
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 play a crucial role in managing peak electricity use demand and in supporting the ACT's transition to a more sustainable energy future.

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 way has been cleared for construction to begin on a 250 MW / 500 MWh battery energy storage system that will help “future proof” the Australian Capital Territory's energy supply by reducing the load on Canberra's electricity network and increasing network reliability.
