    Wellington PV Container BESS

    The project incorporates a large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) with a discharge capacity of 500 megawatts (MW), along with connection to the Wellington substation (and associated upgrade works) and associated ancillary infrastructure to facilitate transfer of energy to and from the electrical grid.


    FAQs about Wellington PV Container BESS

    What is the Wellington Battery energy storage system (BESS)?

    The Wellington Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is planned to be developed in the central west New South Wales (NSW), Australia. The project will comprise a grid-scale BESS with a total discharge capacity of around 400MW. AMPYR Australia, a renewable energy assets developer in the country, owns 100% of the BESS project.

    What is the Wellington Battery energy storage system?

    The Wellington Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) will store excess renewable energy ready for use by homes and businesses during peak times. BESS projects play an important role in the future electricity system. Construction of the project will be undertaken by AMPYR's preferred construction contractors Fluence and RJE Global.

    How will the Wellington Bess project be developed?

    The Wellington BESS project will be developed in two stages. The first stage will have a capacity of 300 MW / 600 MWh, while an additional 100 MW / 400 MWh capacity to be added in the second phase.

    When will Wellington Bess be operational?

    Energisation of the first stage is expected in 2026, followed by second stage in 2027. Once operational, it will have a capacity of 1,000-megawatt hours (MWh) of green power. This will make Wellington BESS one of the largest battery storage projects in NSW. Wellington is being constructed at 6773 and 6909 Goolma Road, Wuuluman NSW 2820.

    How will Bess be connected to TransGrid Wellington substation?

    The BESS will be connected to the nearby Wellington Substation via an underground or aboveground transmission line. The TransGrid Wellington Substation will be upgraded with a southern bay extension to include an additional 330kV switch bay. The security fencing will be relocated for the development.

    Why is CentrePort launching a pilot Bess facility?

    CentrePort will be installing a pilot scale 1000kWhr / 500kW BESS facility to address current operational challenges and meet the near-term needs of electrification initiatives. The Pilot BESS will complement our recently established 122kW solar array and planned new 430kW solar array due to be built in 2025.
