Australian utility-scale battery deployment surges past solar, wind – falls short of requirements
Big BESS is booming Down Under, with almost 5 GW of projects under construction in 2024, according to Rystad Energy. While encouraging, the analyst reports that the volume remains insufficient to overcome growing rates of renewable curtailment. “We have around 3 GW operational at the moment, but about half of that is still in commissioning. So you still only have 1.5 GW on the market where the average load is 23 GW,” Rystad Energy’s David Dixon tells ESS News.
