Octopus Australia has secured planning approval from the Ipswich City Council for its one gigawatt-hour Blackstone Battery project which is one of Queensland’s largest battery storage facilities.

The project is located near Brisbane and is projected to store energy that can supply power to 70,000 households per day.

“Once constructed, the battery project will complement Octopus’s other wind and solar assets in Queensland, including the operational Dulacca Wind Farm and the Ardandra Battery and Solar Farm currently in development. This integration will allow Octopus to shift generation between its assets, optimising supply, and mitigating intermittency,” the company said.

The battery storage project will also contribute to the Queensland Government’s commitment to achieving 80% renewable energy by 2035, Octopus Australia said.
