Overview

The Muchea Battery will be a stand-alone battery up to 200 MW, proposed near the town of Muchea in WA.

The aim is to provide short duration storage in the peak times to ease pressure on the grid.

The battery will be able to provide grid stability and other grid services which will also encourage more integration of more renewable energy into the network.

Battery

Battery storage allows us to store the energy and discharge it into the grid whenever it’s needed.

Neoen has been contributing to Australia’s energy transition with 100% renewable energy since 2012.

With a balanced portfolio of wind, solar and big battery projects, we are aiming to achieve 10 GW by 2030. We own and operate all of the projects we build (rather than developing them to be sold) and as long-term neighbours we are committed to sharing the benefits with surrounding communities.

This dedication to community and environment has made us a renewable energy developer of choice in Australia.
