Eight years ago, we started operating the world’s first big battery and made a long-term commitment to stabilise & strengthen the South Australian electricity network. Now, we are thrilled to start operating our second big battery in the state – the 238.5 MW / 477 MWh Blyth Battery!
Blyth Battery will not only contribute to the grid but also support Neoen’s first-ever renewable energy baseload contract, helping firm wind power from our Goyder South Stage 1 wind farm to power operations at BHP‘s Olympic Dam – also located in South Australia.
We are proud of and thankful to the hardworking teams, contractors & local suppliers including NHOA Energy, Elecnor Australia, ElectraNet Pty Ltd, Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), who have collaborated over many months, to help us in accelerating the state’s decarbonisation journey.
We look forward to celebrating this significant milestone with the people of Blyth and leaning on our talented team of operations controllers & asset managers to power us from here!
