4 FAQs about Victoria energy storage new energy

What is Victoria's Battery energy storage system?

Located close to the Dederang Terminal Station, the battery strengthens grid stability while supporting Victoria's clean energy targets. “This Battery Energy Storage System is another way we're shoring up energy supply and assisting our transition to 95 percent renewable energy by 2035.”

How many energy storage projects are there in Victoria?

773 MW of commissioned energy storage capacity and 21 utility-scale storage projects with a combined capacity of 2,326 MW under construction or undergoing commissioning at 30 June 2025. Figure 4: Emissions from electricity generation in Victoria, 2013/14 to 2024/25

How many large-scale storage systems does Victoria have?

Victoria has 12 commissioned large-scale storage systems and 3 in commissioning – with a total output capacity of 1028 MW and storage capacity of more than 1.7 GWh. Storage capacity = how much total energy is stored in each battery. Output capacity = how much energy a battery can provide at a given time.

Why is Victoria a good place to store batteries?

Victoria is the home of big batteries and has legislated storage targets of at least 2.6 GW by 2030 and 6.3 GW by 2035 to provide crucial support for more renewable capacity. Storage is a vital part of our electricity grid. In the future, much of our energy will be generated closer to where it is used and the way we use it will be more efficient.
