Akaysha Energy is developing the Glenrowan BESS in collaboration with BZ Renewables. The Glenrowan BESS will have a capacity of 400MW/1600MWh and will connect into the existing Glenrowan Terminal Station. It will provide grid stability services, storing energy from nearby electricity generation projects and the grid, and discharging energy to the grid during times of peak demand.
The Glenrowan BESS will occupy an area of 10 hectares, approximately nine kilometres south west of Glenrowan and five kilometres north east of Winton, within the Rural City of Benalla, Victoria.
The site is surrounded by established solar farms and undulating hills, mitigating its visual impact from the Hume Freeway.
