6 FAQs about [National energy wellington thermal power storage project]

Who owns the Wellington Battery energy storage system?

It now fully owns the battery storage facility. AMPYR Australia is now the full owner of the Wellington Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) after acquiring Shell Energy Australia’s 50% stake in the project’s stage 1. In a statement, AMPYR said it had been joint venture partners with Shell in the New South Wales project since October 2022.

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 target capacity of the Wellington Bess?

The target capacity of the Wellington BESS is 500 MW / 1,000 MWh, making it one of the largest battery storage projects in NSW. The Wellington BESS will connect to the adjacent TransGrid Wellington substation, adjacent to the Central West Orana Renewable Energy Zone (Central West Orana REZ).

What will Australia's energy storage needs look like at night?

The CSIRO Renewable Energy Storage Roadmap identifies a mix of technologies will be required, across sectors, to meet Australia’s energy storage needs, particularly at night. Solar thermal will be an important part of the mix. Batteries alone won’t cut it. They’re good for short-duration storage, ranging from mere minutes to an hour or two.

When will ampyr & shell energy build the Wellington Bess project?

The Wellington BESS project is being jointly developed by AMPYR and Shell Energy. Subject to securing all relevant approvals, authorisations and financing, construction is expected to commence in mid-2023. Once operational, Shell Energy will hold the rights to charge and dispatch energy from the Wellington BESS.

What is thermal energy storage?

CSIRO, Author provided The CSIRO Roadmap found thermal energy storage was a relatively low-cost solution with multiple applications, including utility-scale power generation, renewable fuel production and industrial process heat.
