Get StartedIn March 2018, 2 projects in Western Victoria were chosen to be part of The Energy Storage Initiative – one in Ballarat and one in Gannawarra. Construction for the Ballarat and Gannawarra Energy Storage Systems was completed in late 2018. Both batteries began operating over the summer of 2018 and 2019.
It is owned by AusNet Services and operated by Energy Australia. The Ballarat Energy Storage System provides backup power and grid stabilisation, vital to maintaining a reliable and affordable energy supply in Western Victoria. The Gannawarra Energy Storage System is located at the Gannawarra Solar Farm in Wandella, Victoria.
Through an offtake agreement, Shell Energy Australia will have access to 100% of the battery’s offtake over a 20-year period. The BESS was built and will be serviced and maintained by America-headquartered storage specialists Fluence, which also supplied its sixth generation Gridstack energy storage technology across the 19,250 square metre site.
The Gannawarra Energy Storage System is located at the Gannawarra Solar Farm in Wandella, Victoria. The 25MW/50MWh battery is a Tesla Powerpack system. It’s jointly owned by Edify Energy and Wirsol Energy and operated by Energy Australia.
The Energy Storage Initiative supported energy storage technologies and projects to: enhance system security, resilience and reliability. In March 2018, 2 projects in Western Victoria were chosen to be part of The Energy Storage Initiative – one in Ballarat and one in Gannawarra.
Both batteries began operating over the summer of 2018 and 2019. Supporting the integration of energy storage is one of the actions outlined in the Renewable Energy Action Plan, released in July 2017. The Ballarat Energy Storage System is located at the Ballarat Terminal Station in Warrenheip, Victoria.
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.
