CO-LOCATING RENEWABLES AND BATTERIES: ASSESSING THE OPERATIONAL IMPLICATIONS by Andrew Stiel, Energy Markets and Offtake, Edify Energy

Edify Energy, with support from EnergyAustralia, recently published a knowledge sharing report covering the first 12 months of operations for the Gannawarra Energy Storage System – a 25MW/50MWh lithium-ion battery that shares connection infrastructure with the 50MW Gannawarra Solar Farm.
