AGL is building two big battery projects to support its Bayswater coal power station. One battery is at Liddell, rated at 500 MW and 1,000 MWh, and another at Tomago, rated at 500 MW and 2,000 MWh with improved battery technology. These batteries will charge during the day to support demand and increase daytime prices, potentially boosting the power station's returns.
