Pacific Blue to build 60 MW battery system in South Australia

The project’s construction will cost over $66.3m.

Pacific Blue will be constructing a 60-megawatt (MW) battery energy storage system (BESS) next to its existing wind farm in South Australia, expected to be completed in early 2026.

In a statement, Pacific Blue said the BESS project, which will cost over $66.3m (A$100m) to develop will have a duration of 130 MW-hours, supporting the state to meet its 2027 renewable targets.

“The focus of Australia’s energy transition so far has overwhelmingly been on the generation of renewable energy – storing that energy and deploying it to support grid stability is the missing piece and a critical component of Australia’s renewable energy transition,” Pacific Blue CEO Domenic Capomolla.

“The construction of Clements Gap BESS is the first key milestone for Pacific Blue in realising our 2-gigawatt pipeline of capacity and energy storage solutions, which will contribute to Australia achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050,” he added.

The company, the only 100% renewable energy generator and retailer in Australia, has a total installed capacity of 665 MW of wind, hydro, and solar assets.
