Ausgrid considered several factors in determining an appropriate battery site such as safety, accessibility, traffic conditions and motorist visibility, environmental considerations, and the network constraints in the area.
Ausgrid identified a potential site in Cabarita and consulted the community on the following location for the battery:
Kendell Reserve, 14-24 Kendall Street, Cabarita
We are proposing a visual design on the battery to represent the local community.
We are exploring the idea of wrapping the battery in a First Nations artwork that will reflect the rich heritage of the area.
We have heard from our communities that they want to understand how the battery works throughout the day.
We will create an online information hub where community members can see local solar stored and emissions data. Customers can visit the website or scan the QR code on the battery to learn more.
