Transgrid has shortlisted nine battery energy storage projects with a combined capacity of 2 GW to provide essential system strength services to the New South Wales electricity grid. These grid-forming batteries will help stabilize the grid as ageing coal-fired generators exit the network, with the first batteries expected to come online in the second half of 2026.

Description
Description | Transgrid has shortlisted nine battery energy storage projects with a combined capacity of 2 GW to provide essential system strength services to the New South Wales electricity grid. These grid-forming batteries will help stabilize the grid as ageing coal-fired generators exit the network, with the first batteries expected to come online in the second half of 2026. The initiative is part of a broader plan to secure up to 5 GW of stabilizing services from third-party owned batteries by 2033, complementing synchronous condensers. |
