Victoria approved two major renewable energy projects, boosting grid stability and reducing gas use.

Victoria approved two major renewable projects: a 300MW/1,200MWh battery at Tramway Road and a 332MW solar plant with 250MW/1,000MWh storage at Meadow Creek, part of a streamlined program accelerating 22 projects worth AU$7.8 billion. Battery deployment in Australia’s grid surged 150% year-on-year by Q3 2025, supporting grid stability and reducing gas use. A shift toward mixed-scale storage—both large and distributed—is gaining momentum, driven by falling battery costs and the need for flexible, reliable energy systems.
