Brisbane's energy grid just got a major boost! The Brenndale Battery Energy Storage System, boasting 205 MW/410 MWh capacity, is officially operational. Akaysha Energy has begun construction of its Brisbane-based $200 million (USD 131.7 million) Brendale battery energy storage system (BESS), located at the South Pine substation, a central node of Queensland’s electricity grid. Scheduled to start operation in 2026, the Brendale BESS will feature Tesla Energy Megapack technology while the balance of plant (BoP) will be delivered by high voltage power solutions company Consolidated Power Projects Australia. Akaysha Energy's Managing Director Paul Curnow said the Brendale BESS is an important element of Akaysha Energy’s portfolio across not only Queensland but the NEM more broadly. “It is one of four projects under development in the state and it’s clear that the Queensland energy sector is serious about the transition.” said Curnow Ev Foley pv magazine Australia BlackRock #SolarStorageAU #Brisbane #energystorage #batteryenergystorage #Australia #sustainability
