557 MW of commissioned energy storage capacity and 12 utility-scale storage projects with a combined capacity of 1,115 MW under construction or undergoing commissioning at 30 June 2024. Figure 4: Emissions from electricity generation in Victoria, 2013/14 to 2023/24
We pay our respects to their Elders past and present. The Victorian Big Battery is a 300 MW grid-scale battery storage project in Geelong, Australia which stores enough energy in reserve to power over one million Victorian homes for 1/2 an hour. The battery has a 250 MW grid service contract with AEMO under direction from the Victorian Government.
For 2023/24, renewable energy was 37.8% of Victoria’s electricity generation – and we’ve closed out the financial year with a pipeline of projects that puts Victoria well on track to achieve our next goal of 40% renewable electricity by 2025. Figure 2: Victorian renewable electricity generation share, 2013/14 to 2023/24
The battery has a 250 MW grid service contract with AEMO under direction from the Victorian Government. It supports Victoria’s clean energy transition and secure reliable, affordable power for Victorians. The 300 MW / 450 MWh battery consists of 210 Tesla Megapacks covering an area smaller than the football oval at Geelong’s GMHBA Stadium
It is owned by AusNet Services and operated by Energy Australia. The Ballarat Energy Storage System provides backup power and grid stabilisation, vital to maintaining a reliable and affordable energy supply in Western Victoria. The Gannawarra Energy Storage System is located at the Gannawarra Solar Farm in Wandella, Victoria.
Victoria’s largest battery under development right now are four hour batteries, with ground breaking on the first last week at Wooreen. But efforts to bring long duration storage into the Victoria grid need to start immediately.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
