Canberra Mobile Energy Storage Containerized Grid-Connected Delivery Time

4 FAQs about Canberra Mobile Energy Storage Containerized Grid-Connected Delivery Time

How will the Big Canberra battery project work?

Selection of the battery operator will be made in late 2024 following a procurement process. The Big Canberra Battery project will provide renewable energy security across the electricity grid, help the ACT grow its renewable energy sector, provide more local employment opportunities, and deliver a positive financial return for the Territory.

How much energy will a large-scale battery energy storage system provide?

The large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) will provide at least 250 megawatts (MW) of power. This is enough energy to power one-third of Canberra for two hours during peak demand periods. This stored energy will be used to support our electricity grid.

What is the Big Canberra battery transformer?

This stored energy will be used to support our electricity grid. The Big Canberra battery transformer was delivered to the Williamsdale site in early September 2025. The transformer ensures electricity stored in the battery is converted to the correct voltage to be safely supplied to the grid.

Why is the Big Canberra battery a significant milestone for EKU energy?

Quote attributable to Eku Energy CEO, Dan Burrows: "The Big Canberra Battery represents a significant milestone for Eku Energy as it marks our first GWh of projects in delivery in Australia. We are proud to be working in partnership with the ACT Government to deliver the development of the first stream of the Big Canberra Battery.
