Elements Green & SMA Australia have reached a major milestone for Australia’s renewable energy transition with the connection approval of Eurimbula Solar Farm and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), which is set to become the largest hybrid renewable energy project connected to the National Electricity Market (NEM).
Image: SMA Australia. German based inverter and battery storage specialist SMA is claiming two firsts for Australia’s electricity market, after sealing grid connection approval for what it says will be the country’s biggest solar hybrid power plant, and the biggest to feature grid forming technology.
Located in Queensland’s Central Renewable Energy Zone (REZ), the project is being run by renewable energy developer Elements Green and PV and storage system inverter tech developer SMA. The hybrid project secured grid connection approval from the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) and Powerlink under clause 5.3.4A of the NER.
“This project is a big step up for SMA and the renewables sector in Australia. It will be the largest NEM-connected solar & battery hybrid project in Australia, and its successful development thus far clearly demonstrates how SMA’s grid-forming technology can be scaled to meet the NEM’s needs.
The global commercial and industrial solar energy storage battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years. Large-scale battery storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 30-35%. Europe follows with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets are adopting commercial storage for peak shaving and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 3-6 years. Modern industrial installations now feature integrated systems with 50kWh to multi-megawatt capacity at costs below $500/kWh for complete energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar energy storage battery performance while reducing costs for commercial applications. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 50% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,000/kW to $550/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow industrial systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing business savings by 40% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for commercial storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $450/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (50-100kWh) starting at $25,000 and premium systems (200-500kWh) from $100,000, with flexible financing options available for businesses.
