Battery next to Australia’s biggest solar farm nears completion

Renew Economy reports that the 200 MW / 400 MWh New England battery is nearing completion beside the New England solar farm in Australia. The solar project has completed its first 400 MW stage and is developing a second 320 MW stage, while the battery is already running near full capacity at times as final grid approvals are completed. The project shows how storage is being added to large PV sites to reduce curtailment and increase the usefulness of solar output.
