Recently, a 500 MW battery energy storage solution project developed by Trina Solar has been fast-tracked through the Victorian Labor government’s “Development Facilitation Program” in Australia. Valued at AUD 453 million (approximately RMB 2.18 billion), the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2027. Once operational, it will provide cleaner and more affordable energy to the local community in Victoria.
The 500 MW energy storage project is located near a high-voltage substation in northeastern Victoria. The energy storage system will store low-cost renewable energy during the day and feed electricity back into the grid during peak demand periods. Annually, the system will supply enough electricity to power 172,000 households and create approximately 86 jobs.
