“The MOU between Lithium Australia and Centrex highlights our commitment to building a battery supply chain domestically in Australia, which can provide global battery manufacturers an alternative supply source for LFP and LMFP,” Lithium Australia managing director and chief executive officer Simon Linge said.
Premier Steven Miles, Deputy Premier Cameron Dick and Energy Minister Mick de Brenni have today marked the start of construction on one of Queensland’s biggest batteries. In a partnership with Tesla and Yurika, Queensland’s publicly owned CleanCo will deliver the $330 million battery in Swanbank.
Lithium Australia and Centrex offshoot, Agriflex, are in talks for a potential phosphoric acid supply deal from Agriflex’s Ardmore phosphate rock mine in Queensland.
Last year Brisbane-based iron flow battery manufacturer Energy Storage Industries secured $65 million from the state Labor government to build Australia’s first manufacturing plant for grid-scale batteries, but flow battery company Redflow was put into administration.
In a partnership with Tesla and Yurika, Queensland’s publicly owned CleanCo will deliver the $330 million battery in Swanbank. Set to be a pivotal component for the Swanbank Clean Energy Hub and Queensland’s clean energy future, the Swanbank Battery will be constructed on the site of the former Swanbank B coal-fired power station.
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.
