Capital BESS
100MW / 200MWh

Neoen is a major long-term partner in the Australian Capital Territory’s (ACT) low-carbon transition and is one of Australia’s leading renewable energy companies. The ACT is an internationally recognized 100% renewable electricity jurisdiction focused on reaching net zero emissions by 2045. Neoen has committed to building a battery storage facility with at least 50MW capacity in the nation’s capital to support and stabilize ACT’s electricity grid. The battery will be open to community co-investment, providing residents of the ACT and the Capital region with an opportunity to become financial stakeholders in the project.

Doosan GridTech Solution

Neoen awarded the contract for the construction of the 100MW/200MWh Capital Battery, which will be the largest standalone battery storage system in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) at the time of completion, to a consortium comprising Doosan Enerbility and its subsidiary, Doosan GridTech. The consortium is responsible for providing engineering, procurement, and construction services and managing a 20-year operations and maintenance program.
 

The Capital Battery is connected to Australia’s national electricity grid via the transmission network. It serves as a grid-scale battery storage system and consists of 627 battery units using CATL batteries and Power Electronics inverters. The project is designed to provide power to prevent blackouts during periods of high demand and in the event of failure of large fossil fuel generators in heatwave conditions.

Doosan GridTech’s Intelligent Controller® (DG-IC®) will ensure a reliable electricity supply to the grid by dispatching energy during peak times of demand.
