[SMM Analysis] Squadron Energy Seeks Approval for an 8-Hour Wind Plus Energy Storage Project in New South Wales
Dec 05, 2024, at 4:11 pm
[SMM Analysis: Squadron Energy Seeks Approval for an 8-Hour Wind Plus Energy Storage Project in New South Wales] Developer Squadron Energy is seeking to build an 8-hour, 1,200MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in New South Wales, Australia, co-located with a 300MW wind power project. Developer Squadron Energy is seeking to build an 8-hour, 1,200MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in New South Wales, Australia, co-located with a 300MW wind power project. The proposed Conargo Wind Farm is located 45 kilometers northeast of Deniliquin and 10 kilometers northeast of Conargo, within the South-West Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) of New South Wales. It will consist of approximately 53 wind turbines, with an expected capacity of 300MW. The battery energy storage system will connect to the National Electricity Market (NEM). The company has submitted a development application to the federal government under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act. Squadron Energy stated that it is considering a range of battery technologies, including lithium-ion batteries, flow batteries, and compressed air energy storage. The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will reveal decisions regarding the specific technology and the exact location of the energy storage facility, according to planning documents. Several approved energy storage projects are located within 50 kilometers of the project site. These include the 1.5GW Yanco Delta wind plus energy storage project acquired by Origin Energy in April 2024. The site also includes plans for an 800MWh BESS. Squadron Energy hopes to complete planning and approvals by 2026, with construction and commissioning to commence the following year. This phase is expected to take approximately 24 months to complete. Operations are expected to begin in 2028 or 2029, with the project having an operational lifespan of 30 years. At the end of this phase, Squadron Energy will consider whether to relicense, further expand, or decommission the project. Squadron Energy is also behind an 1,800MWh wind plus energy storage project in New South Wales, which recently received a recommendation for approval from the New South Wales Independent Planning Commission (IPCN). This project aims to combine a 700MW wind farm with a co-located 400MW/1,800MWh BESS. It is located west of Gulgong and northeast of Wellington in the Central-West Orana Renewable Energy Zone (REZ), which recently became the first zone to enter the delivery phase.
