Rockhampton residents will soon reap the benefits of grid-scale renewable storage soaking up excess solar production, with Powerlink flicking the switch on a 50MW\/100MWh battery in Bouldercombe.<\/p>\n

The battery will be fully operational later this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cBig Bessie\u201d (BESS stands for Battery Energy Storage System) comprises 40 Tesla Megapack 2.0 units and has the equivalent storage of more than 7600 Tesla Powerwalls<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Built by Genex, the batteries use Tesla\u2019s auto-bidder software and will be operated by Tesla for eight years under an offtake arrangement that guarantees Genex\u2019s revenue.<\/p>\n

In this announcement to the Australian Securities Exchange<\/a> (PDF) in June, when the battery was first energised, Genex explained:<\/p>\n

\u201cTesla will operate the plant to maximise revenues in the energy arbitrage and frequency control ancillary services markets, while providing a guaranteed minimum level of revenues.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Income beyond the minimum will be \u201clargely captured by Genex\u201d, with a portion shared with Tesla.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis ensures that Genex directly participates in the revenue upside from significant volatility and wholesale market pricing events.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The battery is expected to discharge 27,375MWh each year and can power more than 4,000 homes.<\/p>\n

Bouldercombe, about 23km south of Rockhampton, was chosen as the site for the battery because it\u2019s adjacent to Powerlink\u2019s Queensland SuperGrid substation.<\/p>\n

The battery was created as part of the Queensland government\u2019s \u201cEnergy and Jobs Plan\u201d, and Powerlink says it will \u201csupercharge local energy affordability.\u201d<\/p>\n

Big Bessie will also be providing frequency control ancillary services (FCAS).<\/p>\n

Barry O\u2019Rourke, member for Rockhampton<\/a>, said in a media statement<\/a> the battery\u2019s location near Gracemere<\/a> puts it near one of the top-50 solar postcodes in Queensland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to SQ’s Solar In Your Location tool<\/a>, in Gracemere’s postcode area (4702), more than 5,278 small-scale systems have been installed with a collective capacity of 30,434 kW as of May 31, 2023. That’s 45 solar panel systems per 100 dwellings – the Australian average is 34.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis grid-scale battery will take renewable energy produced from local rooftop solar PV and other nearby wind and solar farms, and release when needed\u2013delivering even more reliable, cheaper and cleaner energy for Central Queenslanders,\u201d O\u2019Rourke said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Powerlink CEO Paul Simshauser noted that the company had added a 132kV substation bay to Bouldercombe to accommodate the battery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
