Queensland has announced trials of locally made flow batteries for community energy storage as part of a $179 million investment in the next stages of its local network connected batteries programme.
The funding from the Queensland Renewable Energy and Hydrogen Jobs Fund, will see 12 new local network-connected batteries installed across the state in stages, which follows the deployment of the first five at Bundaberg, Hervey Bay, Toowoomba, Townsville and Yeppoon.
Stage two is currently in delivery, with battery construction underway on 12 batteries, while stage four will deliver 12 additional 4MW/8MWh batteries.
Stage four includes the trial of two flow batteries with sites likely in Burrum Heads and Ipswich.
