Benefits
For NSW
The Eathorpe Battery will have the capacity to reduce electricity prices for NSW energy consumers through:
- enabling more power to come from wind and solar: the cheapest forms of energy
- increasing competition and pushing electricity prices down
- increasing the reliability of the grid, helping to prevent blackouts
Neoen’s SA Big Battery saved energy consumers over $150m in its first two years of operation.
