Media Release = ‘Capacity Investment Scheme supports NSW to deliver 1 GW of cleaner, cheaper, more reliable energy’

For a couple reasons I’ve added this in as a back-dated article on WattClarity, the reference to the Media Release from the NSW Department of Energy titled ‘Capacity Investment Scheme supports NSW to deliver 1 GW of cleaner, cheaper, more reliable energy’ published on 22nd November 2023:

Further down this Media Release is the note:

‘The 6 successful projects are:

Project 1 = Akaysha Energy’s Orana Renewable Energy Zone battery, located in Wellington in central-west NSW, with 415 MW capacity and 1,660 MWh 4-hour storage capacity

Project 2 = AGL Energy’s Liddell battery, located in Muswellbrook in the Hunter Valley, with 500 MW capacity and 1,000 MWh 2-hour storage capacity

Project 3 = Iberdrola Australia’s Smithfield Sydney battery, located in Smithfield in western Sydney, with 65 MW capacity and 130 MWh 2-hour storage capacity

Projects 4, 5 & 6 = 3 separate virtual power plants through Enel X Australia’s demand response project totalling 95 MW capacity with minimum dispatch duration of 2 hours.

All successful projects are targeting commercial operations by December 2025.’
