The Queensland government-owned Stanwell Corporation is undergoing a significant transformation by constructing a 300 MW, 1200 MWh big battery near the Stanwell Power Station in Rockhampton. The project, using Tesla Megapacks, marks a shift towards cleaner and more flexible energy solutions. The first consignment of 2XL Tesla Megapack units has arrived at the site, with a total of 324 units being transported from Brisbane to the project site. Once completed, the battery will have the capacity to discharge 300 MW of energy for up to four hours, making it one of the largest in Queensland. The project received substantial financial support from the former Queensland Labor government, demonstrating a commitment to renewable energy goals. The battery project is scheduled to commence supplying electricity to the grid by May 2027. The installation of the Megapacks is being handled by Yurika, a government-owned company, along with local contractors, and is expected to create job opportunities for around 80 workers during construction. This initiative showcases a positive step towards reducing reliance on coal-generated power and embracing greener energy alternatives in Queensland.
