FAQS about Wellington Energy Storage Power Source Factory

Who owns the Wellington Battery energy storage system?

It now fully owns the battery storage facility. AMPYR Australia is now the full owner of the Wellington Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) after acquiring Shell Energy Australia’s 50% stake in the project’s stage 1. In a statement, AMPYR said it had been joint venture partners with Shell in the New South Wales project since October 2022.

What is the Wellington Battery energy storage system (BESS)?

The Wellington Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is planned to be developed in the central west New South Wales (NSW), Australia. The project will comprise a grid-scale BESS with a total discharge capacity of around 400MW. AMPYR Australia, a renewable energy assets developer in the country, owns 100% of the BESS project.

Will Wellington Bess be the largest battery storage project in NSW?

Once operational, it will have a capacity of 1,000-megawatt hours (MWh) of green power. This will make Wellington BESS one of the largest battery storage projects in NSW. Wellington is being constructed at 6773 and 6909 Goolma Road, Wuuluman NSW 2820.

Which is the largest battery storage project in NSW?

This will make Wellington BESS one of the largest battery storage projects in NSW. Wellington is being constructed at 6773 and 6909 Goolma Road, Wuuluman NSW 2820. The project site is situated within the Central-West Orana Renewable energy Zone (CWO REZ), in the Dubbo Regional Council local government area (LGA).

How many GW of energy storage will Australia have by 2030?

It is worth noting that Ampyr Australia is targeting an operational portfolio of 3GW of energy storage in the country by 2030. Its Singapore-headquartered parent company, Ampyr Energy, is developing around 12GW of projects globally.

Who owns the Wellington Bess?

Ampyr Australia, the regional entity of which its parent company is backed by infrastructure investor Stonepeak, now has secured full ownership of the Wellington BESS, including stage one, a 300MWMW/600MWh BESS, and stage two, where an additional 100MW/400MWh 4-hour duration BESS will be added.
