A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) refers to a system that stores electrical energy in batteries for later use. These can either be portable or more permanently built on site. Similar to how batteries work for torches, remotes or toys, the batteries are charged from an external source, and then discharged as we need to use them.
AGL''s BESS will become one of the state''s largest and will require an investment of around AU$1 billion (US$650 million). New South Wales''s largest BESS is Origin Energy''s Eraring battery, which recently saw its third stage approved, increasing the facility to 2,800MWh.. It is worth noting that the BESS will be located within the Hunter-Central Coast
Through an offtake agreement, Shell Energy Australia will have access to 100% of the battery''s offtake over a 20-year period. The BESS was built and will be serviced and maintained by America-headquartered storage specialists Fluence, which also supplied its sixth generation Gridstack energy storage technology across the 19,250 square metre site.

As Australia undergoes a transformative shift toward renewable energy, the Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) market has emerged as a cornerstone for ensuring grid stability and optimising energy generation.
As Australia moves towards high DER penetration and high renewable energy generation, growth in BESS’ supply is required to continue to offset operational issues. The lack of private non DNSP firms funding smaller batteries is clear that revenues are not tied to the operational issues of time shifting peak solar and increasing host capacity.
As one of the first large-scale battery systems built in Australia, the BESS has demonstrated flexibility and adaptability of battery based assets and their ability to support higher penetrations of renewable energy.
As Australia moves towards high DER penetration and high renewable energy generation, there will be a need for more battery energy storage systems to offset operational issues. The lack of private funding especially for smaller batteries may possibly cause PV DER to lag the overall demand for electrification. 1. Introduction
A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is an energy storage system that uses a group of batteries to store electrical energy from the grid and renewable projects such as solar and wind farms.
On-site battery energy storage systems, or ‘behind-the-meter BESS’, could be the solution that empowers your business to improve its on-site energy productivity and unlock potential revenue from market schemes and meet its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) commitments.
