👏 A big congratulations to the Neoen Australia team for successfully delivering Stage 1 of the Collie Battery project. We're proud to have partnered with Neoen to connect WA's newest battery to the South West Interconnected System (SWIS). We also extend our thanks and congratulations to Tesla Energy, UGL, Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO), the WA Government and the Shire of Collie for their vital contributions towards this achievement. We look forward to continuing to work with our energy partners as we build a cleaner energy future for WA. #colliebattery #bigbattery #battery #energy #cleanenergy
The 219 MW / 877 MWh Stage 1 of Collie Battery - our 1st 4-hour duration big battery is successfully operating & delivering critical grid-support services to the SWIS in Western Australia !! 🤠 🎯 This time last year, our construction teams Tesla Energy and UGL were starting civil works for WA's largest #storage system. Today, we are proudly delivering our commitments under contract with Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) making sure WA is supported in its transition to #renewables & prepared to meet its #energy demands over the summer of 2024/25! 🔋 ☀ We are grateful to be welcomed by the Bibullman nation, the Shire of Collie, Collie community, and our host landowners Florian Popp and Susanne von Münchhausen. And we are thankful for the close cooperation with Western Power, enabling us to connect and start operating the battery in record-time ! 🤝 There is a lot more to say, but maybe we'll save some for our 341 MW / 1,363 MWh Stage 2 of Collie Battery, currently under construction & expected to come online next year! 😉
