It has been announced that Shell Energy Australia are going to partner up and connect to the grid. They are going to do this through the Battery Energy Storage System. This is going to be built on the Wallerawang Power Station and this is going to be very close to New South Wales. In fact, it is going to be near Lithgow, which is a very convenient location to say the least. Shell have the plan to try and build, own and finally operate the battery and this is going to sit within the power station site. It has been reported that there once were two 500MW coal-firing generator units. These were decommissioned in the year 2014. The battery has been developed by the Green Spot company and this was once a privately owned group. Since then however they have worked to acquire and finally repurpose the property which is going to help move things away from the fossil fuel industry. Shell Energy are primarily responsible for the connection to the grid and it is their job to make sure that the battery is built and owned properly. They are going to first lease around 20 hectares of land and they are then going to expand this to 200 hectares. The main reason or this is because they believe it will help them to advance and it will also establish a hub for high-end industries in the business of tech. GreenSpot have obtained developmental approval and they have also done this through the BESS. This is going to connect with the Wallerawang Substation and in the past this has helped to facilitate coal transportation, which is then taken to the grid. At the end of the day, this is going to help provide major access to roads and rail transport. It is also going to help link the proposed water infrastructure as well which is a huge deal to say the least.
