Project Summary The Wellington Battery Energy Storage System project consists of a grid-scale BESS with a total anticipated discharge capacity of 500MW and a storage capacity of 1,000MW hours. Fluence Energy had the contract to design, supply, construct and commission the installation.
The existing Wellington substation is very strategically located within the NSW energy grid. The output from both stages of the Wellington Battery represents the demand from over 60,000 homes. This fund has been established with Dubbo Regional Council (DRC), allocating $2 million to the local community over the Battery's life.
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.
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. The output from both stages of the Wellington Battery represents the demand from over 60,000 homes.
