Subscriber only A Queensland first large-scale battery energy storage system is poised to be built in the small town of Bouldercombe, near Rockhampton. The battery storage facility takes electricity from the grid in periods of low demand and feeds it back into the grid in high demand. The facility would have a battery storage capacity of up to 100MW/200MWh (two hours depth). Genex Power Limited is behind the project and plans to co-locate it on Powerlink s Bouldercombe Substation on the Burnett Highway. The development application was submitted to Rockhampton Regional Council this month by AECOM Australia. The application describes a battery storage facility as a premises to store energy from a transmission grid or supply network into a commercial battery energy storage system .
