Origin announces plans for a 700 MW battery storage system in Australia’s New South Wales

Origin Energy Limited, a leading Australian integrated energy company, has issued an expression of interest to select a suitably qualified firm to supply and install a large-scale battery at the Eraring Power Station in New South Wales. This battery would have an overall capacity of up to 700 MW and a despatch duration of four hours. After a preferred supplier is selected, the required permits and approvals are obtained and the network connection is established, battery deployment will be undertaken. The deployment will be done in three phases, with the first phase expected to be completed by late 2022.
