BESS facilities in Queensland (in operation, under construction, and proposed for development) have the ability to deliver between 10 – 500 megawatts (MW) of power and play a crucial role in stabilising the energy network.
The first sites planned to host the new solution include Quinbrook’s Supernode site in Brisbane which already hosts Australia’s largest BESS campus. Quinbrook also has multiple sites that are strategically proximate to heavy industry in Gladstone as well as the planned Lansdown Eco-Industrial Precinct in Townsville.
BESS technology is continuously evolving, with advancements in battery chemistry and system integration. Supplier research and development is focused on improving energy density, product lifespan, noise emissions, safety, and repurposing and recycling.
Stage one will be the construction of one of Queensland’s biggest Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). The BESS will have a 250MW/2hr capacity and will enable the efficient storage of surplus solar and wind energy, aid the displacement of coal and other emissions-intensive generation sources.
Capable of powering 70,000 homes, Blackstone is currently Queensland’s largest BESS project and the approval progresses Octopus’s renewables strategy to develop large scale energy storage in strategic locations across the National Electricity Market (NEM).
The BESS facility will enable the efficient storage of surplus solar and wind energy, helping to displace coal and other emissions-intensive generation sources. Origin Energy has committed to the full capacity of the first stage of the project under a recently completed agreement.
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.
