flag A $750 million grid-scale battery at the former Liddell Power Station in New South Wales is set to become operational by mid-2026, powering about 200,000 homes. flag Part of the Hunter Energy Hub, it will store renewable energy during the day and release it during peak demand, helping stabilize Australia’s electricity grid as coal generation ends. flag The project, backed by a $35 million grant from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency and a long-term agreement from the NSW government, used 95% locally sourced steel and involved over 600 workers, including First Nations businesses. flag Components were made in China and assembled in Vietnam. flag AGL, the developer, sees the battery as the first step in transforming the site into a clean energy hub with potential for low-carbon fuels, data centers, and future jobs, supporting regional economic growth.
