Source: RenewEconomy
The Waratah Super Battery is an 850 MW and 1680 MWh giant battery located at a shuttered coal fired generator on the Central Coast of New South Wales. It is the most powerful battery built in Australia and possibly the world, designed to act as a "shock absorber" to allow transmission lines to operate at greater capacity and enable more wind and solar power to be built within the area.
