The first quarter (Q1) of 2025 has seen a surge in investment for large-scale battery storage in Australia, with six projects worth a total of A$2.4bn ($1.5bn) reaching the financial commitment stage, according to the latest Clean Energy Australia Report 2025.

Why is battery storage important in Australia?

Battery storage is now key to Australia’s clean energy transition. It stabilizes supply by storing extra renewable energy and delivering it on demand, even when solar or wind output drops. This helps prevent blackouts and ensures steady green energy flow. BESS installations are expected to double by 2027.

How many battery storage projects commenced construction in 2025?

In addition to the six projects that reached financial commitment, a further three battery storage projects commenced construction in the first quarter of 2025, with a total of 840 MW / 2.9 GWh in storage capacity / energy output.

Are Australia's large-scale battery energy storage projects attracting federal support?

The volume of large-scale battery energy storage projects under construction in Australia passed that of solar and wind projects combined in 2023 and the trend has intensified this year, with batteries attracting federal support. As coal-fired power plants are shuttered, developers and suppliers are enjoying a battery bonanza.
