CEFC commits $100m investment in Australia’s Waratah Super Battery

The project in New South Wales has an 850MW/1,680MWh capacity.

The Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) pledged a $100m investment in the 850-megawatt (MW)/1,680MW-hour Waratah Super Battery (WSB) project in New South Wales in Australia.

In a statement, CEFC CEO Ian Learmonth said long and short-duration storage assets are vital for Australia’s energy network as this will enable the country to capitalise on its wind and solar resources.

“Battery storage underpins a future balanced grid, ensuring that more clean energy can reach more consumers and providing network stability as coal continues to exit the network earlier than predicted,” he said.

“Our investment in the Waratah Super Battery supports a secure grid powered by renewable energy and fit for a future, low emissions economy,” he added.

WSB, a part of the Sydney Ring Project identified as a priority project in the Australian Energy Market Operator Integrated System Plan 2022, is constructed on the site of a decommissioned coal-fired power station on the state's Central Coast.

BlackRock Alternatives raised $335m from Australian and global institutions and sovereign co-investors to support WBS.
