Recently, the 500 MW / 2,000 MWh (2 GWh) battery energy storage system (BESS) project developed by Trina Solarhas passed fast-track approval under the Victorian Labor Government’s Development Facilitation Program. The project, with a total investment of AUD 453 million (approximately RMB 2.18 billion), is expected to be completed by the end of 2027. Once operational, it will provide Victoria with cleaner and more cost-effective energy.

The 500 MW energy storage project is located near a high-voltage substation in northeastern Victoria. The system will store low-cost renewable energy during the day and feed power back to the grid during peak demand hours. It is estimated that the system will supply enough electricity annually to meet the needs of 172,000 households, while also creating approximately 86 local jobs.

The 14th ESIE - largest energy storage event in China is coming on April 1-3, 2026, Beijing, China!
