Synergy commences construction of 500 MW battery storage system in Australia

It is expected to be completed by end-2025.

Synergy started the construction of a 500 megawatt (MW)/2,000 MW-hour battery energy storage system in Western Australia which will be one of the biggest grid-scale batteries in the country.

In a statement, Synergy said the Collie battery energy storage system will be supported in part by the government.

The completion of site preparation earthworks for the facility will be led by Cardinal Contractors, with the construction creating 500 jobs at its peak.

"Synergy's ground-breaking project is significant for the Collie community and will help local workers and families as Synergy seeks to exit coal-fired power by 2030,” said Energy Minister Reece Whitby.

"When complete, this battery will support reliability and more renewable energy on WA's main electricity grid," he added.
