Ark Energy secures AEMO grid connection for 3.1 GWh solar-plus-storage project

SolarNews Brief

Ark Energy has received AEMO and Transgrid approval to connect its Richmond Valley solar-plus-storage project to Australia's National Electricity Market. The full approved configuration includes 435 MW of solar PV and a 475 MW / 3,148 MWh battery energy storage system.

Energy-Storage.News reports that Stage 1 is targeted to start construction later in 2026 with a 200 MWac solar plant and a 275 MW / 2,200 MWh LFP battery. The project will connect to the local 330 kV network through a new Richmond Valley Switching Station and use grid-forming inverter technology. This is a high-signal story because grid connection approval is often the decisive gate for large hybrid assets in Australia's congested NEM pipeline.
