Origin Energy invests A$600m in large-scale Eraring battery construction

The first stage involves 460MW of capacity with a two-hour dispatch duration.

Origin Energy committed to investing (A$600m) for the construction of the first stage of the large-scale battery at the Eraring Power Station in New South Wales.

In a statement, Origin Energy said the first stage of the construction of the battery storage system involves the development of a capacity of 460 megawatts (MW) with a dispatch duration of two hours. It is expected to start operating in the last quarter of 2025.

The company could increase the capacity of the battery to 700MW and four hours of dispatch duration.

Greg Jarvis, Origin’s head of energy supply and operations, said the Eraring battery’s development is vital in transforming the Eraring site as it plans to exit coal-fired generation as early as August 2025.
