Mar 20, 2025 · A newly formed Australian renewables and storage developer has unveiled its first four battery projects in NSW and Victoria.
Contact UsA battery capable of powering more than one million NSW homes has been officially connected to the power grid and switched on. The Waratah Super Battery, on the site of the former Munmorah coal-fired power station on the Central Coast, has been operating at 50 per cent capacity, or 370 megawatts.
This project continues the successful partnership between Wärtsilä and Origin, bringing the Eraring facility's total capacity to 700 MW / 2 800 MWh. This makes it the largest battery project in Australia and one of the largest in the world. The order was booked in Q4 2024.
The Wooreen Energy Storage System project will provide an economic boost for the Gippsland region and help transition to renewable energy. It's early days, but we believe a new utility-scale battery facility will serve an important role in Australia's future modern energy system.
“As of today, Australia is the most vibrant market for utility-scale battery storage around the world,” says Charlie Reid, the co-head of BlackRock Climate Infrastructure APAC. NYC-headquartered BlackRock has committed to investing a billion dollars in energy projects in Australia. It raised $500 million for the Waratah project, known as WSB.

Across NSW, our electricity network is transforming. With the Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap, the NSW Government is accelerating investment in renewable energy and storage infrastructure, like the Waratah Super Battery, to deliver the electricity network to power our state now and for the next generation.
