Akaysha Energy is proposing to develop the Connewarren Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) near Mortlake in south west Victoria. The proposed project will have a capacity of 1,000MW and provide up to four hours (4,000MWh) of energy storage, and will connect into the existing Mortlake Terminal Station.
Located within the South West Victorian Renewable Energy Zone and close to existing transmission infrastructure, Connewarren will support a more reliable and efficient electricity system by storing energy when supply is high and dispatching it back to the grid when demand increases.
