EnergyCo and Transgrid deal to unlock 3.56 GW of renewables and battery storage in Australia

SolarNews Brief

EnergyCo has signed a Project Development Deed with Transgrid to upgrade grid infrastructure between Jerilderie and Wagga Wagga in New South Wales. PV Tech reports the work is intended to unlock 3.56 GW of renewable energy and battery storage capacity in the South West Renewable Energy Zone.

The agreement targets a section of the transmission network that is central to connecting new renewable and battery assets in Australia's South West REZ.

For solar and storage developers, the signal is that transmission readiness remains the gating item for large clean-energy zones.
