Project Summary The Wellington Battery Energy Storage System project consists of a grid-scale BESS with a total anticipated discharge capacity of 500MW and a storage capacity of 1,000MW hours. Fluence Energy had the contract to design, supply, construct and commission the installation.
An inspection of the Wellington substation adjacent to the project site area was also conducted along Goolma Rd and the access road within the project site area; however, the substation was not accessed at the time of survey and this limited the data that was collected for the substation.
In operation, the Wellington BESS will be one of the largest in the state, capable of contributing up to 1,000 MWh of storage capacity in the NEM. The project will also provide benefits in the form of smoothing out energy spot prices and providing back-up power during network interruptions.
Close proximity to the Wellington TransGrid Substation – the BESS substation is proposed to be positioned approximately 300 m west of the Wellington TransGrid Substation thereby minimising transmission line distances and allows for the co-location of energy infrastructure.
The project will improve the reliability of energy supply in the region by providing storage and firming capacity to the National Energy Market (NEM). A description of the project is provided in Chapter 3.
