Shell and Edify Strike 100 MW Big Battery Storage Space Deal with NSW Govt

• UK-based Shell Energy and Australia-headquartered Edify Energy have released a joint declaration today, specifying that both business have actually authorized a long-lasting services arrangement to deliver a two-hour battery storage center of 100 MW capability in South West NSW, Australia.

In renewable resource news originating from the nation, it was recently revealed that Australia installed its highest possible ever number of roof solar photovoltaic or pv (PV) panels in 2020, based on the Clean Energy Regulator data evaluated by energy efficiency experts from Australia's nationwide science agency, CSIRO.

Located in the Murrumbidgee Shire, the Riverina Energy Storage System (RESS) being built by Shell and Edify is to be a 100MW/ 200MWh lithium-ion battery that will certainly connect into TransGrid's network at the Darlington Point Substation. RESS will serve to include more flexible dispatchable capability to the NSW market and will match the significant existence of sustainable generation in the area.

Building on Edify's success in developing, having and funding the Gannawarra Energy Storage Space System, RESS is being created to satisfy the needs of Shell Energy and the NSW Government, with Shell Energy authorizing a long-lasting solutions agreement to access functional legal rights to a 60MW/ 120MWh dividing of the battery. This arrangement is a vital part of Shell Energy's success in securing a long-term retail contract with the NSW Government as part of its Whole of Government process.

Edify Chief Executive, John Cole, stated, "We are proud to be leading the development of batteries to support the renewable energy market and to increase the accessibility of clean, environment-friendly, affordable, dispatchable electrical power. We are pleased to have actually reached this turning point with Shell Energy and the NSW Government and expect remaining to deal with them as we deliver RESS into industrial procedure."

Vital to achieving Australia's carbon discharge reduction targets is the ability to swiftly increase the supply of renewable and protected energy offered to government, companies and customers. The delivery of this project highlights Edify's abilities to work with government and sector to supply innovative services to our complicated energy obstacles.

Shell Energy Chief Executive Officer Greg Joiner additionally discussed the project by claiming, "This lasting solutions arrangement is a version for exactly how large energy individuals can access dispatchable power like battery storage space, which enhances renewables, while adding to a cleaner and more durable power system. Shell Energy was pleased to choose Edify as its battery energy storage space companion in this joint method to satisfying the NSW Government's need for an innovative power service."
