In March 2018, 2 projects in Western Victoria were chosen to be part of The Energy Storage Initiative – one in Ballarat and one in Gannawarra. Construction for the Ballarat and Gannawarra Energy Storage Systems was completed in late 2018. Both batteries began operating over the summer of 2018 and 2019.
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. The 25MW/50MWh battery is a Tesla Powerpack system.
The Gannawarra Energy Storage System is located at the Gannawarra Solar Farm in Wandella, Victoria. The 25MW/50MWh battery is a Tesla Powerpack system. It’s jointly owned by Edify Energy and Wirsol Energy and operated by Energy Australia.
The Energy Storage Initiative supported energy storage technologies and projects to: enhance system security, resilience and reliability. In March 2018, 2 projects in Western Victoria were chosen to be part of The Energy Storage Initiative – one in Ballarat and one in Gannawarra.
Both batteries began operating over the summer of 2018 and 2019. Supporting the integration of energy storage is one of the actions outlined in the Renewable Energy Action Plan, released in July 2017. The Ballarat Energy Storage System is located at the Ballarat Terminal Station in Warrenheip, Victoria.
Energy Dome chose Victoria for its collaborative energy industry, ambitious net-zero targets, strong commitment to renewable energy and attractive investment initiatives. As the state transitions from coal-fired power and faces growing industrial energy demands, it presents an ideal environment for long-duration energy storage solutions.
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.
