UGL has helped install a 270 MW / 540 MWh big battery for Neoen, including the associated high voltage infrastructure which will connect the Tesla supplied system into the electricity network.
The work is being carried out at Neoen’s Western Downs Green Power Hub, situated approximately 250 kilometres west of Brisbane.
UGL is also helping Neoen deliver Stage 2 of the Western Downs Battery.
Stage 2 includes the construction of a further 270 MW / 540 MWh big battery and high voltage infrastructure to connect it to the grid. The big battery will consist of 140 Tesla Megapack 2XL units and is expected to start operations in 2026.
Following construction, the 540 MW / 1,080 MWh Western Downs Battery will operate alongside Neoen’s 460 MWp solar farm at the same site and allow stored energy to be transmitted into the electricity network.
