Description | A new four-hour big battery energy storage system (BESS) with up to 440 MW power capacity and 1760 MWh energy capacity is proposed for development by Acen Australia in Lilyvale, Queensland's Central Highlands region. The project involves installing 512 battery containers, 128 inverters, and 128 medium voltage power stations over approximately 151 hectares, with a disturbance footprint of around 21 hectares on land historically cleared for agriculture. The site is near existing coal mines and will connect to the existing Lilyvale substation operated by Powerlink. |
