We are proposing a battery in Kurnell to add storage to the local electricity network. We're planning for the energy network of the future, now.
This battery will store 120MW of energy - that's enough to power up to 16,200 Ausgrid households a day.
As we switch to renewable sources like solar and wind power, we need more energy storage to make sure we have power when the sun isn’t shining, and the wind isn’t blowing. This will mean we can provide our customers with more sustainable, more reliable and more affordable power.
NSW needs six times more energy storage before 2030. Projects like this are important to help keep our electricity supply stable.
Proposed location in Kurnell
Ausgrid’s proposed energy storage will be located at 171-189 Captain Cook Drive, Kurnell. If approved, the project will be built and operated by a third party.
Battery Energy Storage Systems support the clean energy transition
The benefits include:
Learn more and share your feedback
We want to hear from the local community and answer any questions you might have. The feedback we get from this early consultation will help shape the project.
Contact our project team for more information.
Begin preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), including technical studies
Share findings of technical studies and seek feedback from the community and stakeholders
Submit EIS to DPHI
We’re seeking your feedback on our proposed energy storage in the Kurnell. Your feedback will help shape the project to better reflect community values and priorities.
