Wellington Station Energy Storage System Project

AMPYR is developing the Wellington Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Central West NSW, designed to store renewable energy for use during peak times. With planning and grid connection approvals already secured, AMPYR aims to start construction in 2025 for initial energisation in 2026. Wellington View Homepage. The Wellington Region covers Wellington city in the south, Upper and Lower Hutt valleys to the north-east, and Porirua to the north-west. The region takes its name from Wellington, New Zealand''s capital city. Wellington is famous for its arts and culture scene and is also the centre of New Zealand''s film industry.

What is the Wellington Battery energy storage system?

The Wellington Battery Energy Storage System project consists of a grid-scale BESS with a total anticipated discharge capacity of 500 megawatts and a storage capacity of 1,000 megawatt hours within a landholding immediately east of the TransGrid Wellington Substation.

What is the Wellington Battery energy storage system (BESS)?

The Wellington Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is planned to be developed in the central west New South Wales (NSW), Australia. The project will comprise a grid-scale BESS with a total discharge capacity of around 400MW. AMPYR Australia, a renewable energy assets developer in the country, owns 100% of the BESS project.

What is the target capacity of the Wellington Bess?

The target capacity of the Wellington BESS is 500 MW / 1,000 MWh, making it one of the largest battery storage projects in NSW. The Wellington BESS will connect to the adjacent TransGrid Wellington substation, adjacent to the Central West Orana Renewable Energy Zone (Central West Orana REZ).

How will the Wellington Bess project be developed?

The Wellington BESS project will be developed in two stages. The first stage will have a capacity of 300 MW / 600 MWh, while an additional 100 MW / 400 MWh capacity to be added in the second phase.

What is the Wellington Bess?

The Wellington BESS will connect to the adjacent TransGrid Wellington substation, adjacent to the Central West Orana Renewable Energy Zone (Central West Orana REZ). It will complement nearby existing renewable energy generation assets as well as the proposed additional generation to be delivered as part of the Central West Orana REZ.

How will Bess be connected to TransGrid Wellington substation?

The BESS will be connected to the nearby Wellington Substation via an underground or aboveground transmission line. The TransGrid Wellington Substation will be upgraded with a southern bay extension to include an additional 330kV switch bay. The security fencing will be relocated for the development.
