6 FAQs about Wellington Construction Investment Energy Storage Project

What is the Wellington Battery energy storage system (BESS)?

The Wellington Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is planned to be developed in the central west New South Wales (NSW), Australia. The project will comprise a grid-scale BESS with a total discharge capacity of around 400MW. AMPYR Australia, a renewable energy assets developer in the country, owns 100% of the BESS project.

Where is Wellington South Battery energy storage system being developed?

(Credit: Sungrow EMEA on Unsplash) The Wellington Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is planned to be developed in the central west New South Wales (NSW), Australia. The project will comprise a grid-scale BESS with a total discharge capacity of around 400MW.

What is the target capacity of the Wellington Bess?

The target capacity of the Wellington BESS is 500 MW / 1,000 MWh, making it one of the largest battery storage projects in NSW. The Wellington BESS will connect to the adjacent TransGrid Wellington substation, adjacent to the Central West Orana Renewable Energy Zone (Central West Orana REZ).

When will the Wellington substation be built?

Construction of Stage 1 (300MW / 2 hours) will start mid-2025, finishing early 2027. Plans for construction of Stage 2 are ongoing, but construction is likely to follow 12 to 18 months behind Stage 1. The existing Wellington substation is very strategically located within the NSW energy grid.

What is the Wellington Bess?

The Wellington BESS will connect to the adjacent TransGrid Wellington substation, adjacent to the Central West Orana Renewable Energy Zone (Central West Orana REZ). It will complement nearby existing renewable energy generation assets as well as the proposed additional generation to be delivered as part of the Central West Orana REZ.

How will the Wellington Bess project be developed?

The Wellington BESS project will be developed in two stages. The first stage will have a capacity of 300 MW / 600 MWh, while an additional 100 MW / 400 MWh capacity to be added in the second phase.
