557 MW of commissioned energy storage capacity and 12 utility-scale storage projects with a combined capacity of 1,115 MW under construction or undergoing commissioning at 30 June 2024. Figure 4: Emissions from electricity generation in Victoria, 2013/14 to 2023/24
The $350 million (USD 224.4 million) project, being developed near the town of Little River about 45 kilometres southwest of Melbourne, will be one of the state's largest battery energy storage systems if it goes ahead and will “support Victoria's clean energy transition.”
Victoria already has over 1GW of utility-scale solar PV capacity in operation, with over 5.3GW of capacity approved and an additional 190MW of capacity currently under construction. The Mortlake project will contribute to the state's energy storage goals.
Construction proper has officially begun on a 119 MW solar farm and 100 MW / 200 MWh battery energy storage facility in Victoria's northwest with the state government saying the publicly owned project is on track for completion in 2027.
