The project incorporates a large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) with a discharge capacity of 500 megawatts (MW), along with connection to the Wellington substation (and associated upgrade works) and associated ancillary infrastructure to facilitate transfer of energy to and from the electrical grid.

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.
Where is Wellington South Battery energy storage system being developed?
Wellington South Battery Energy Storage System is being developed in NSW, Australia. (Credit: Sungrow EMEA on Unsplash) 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.
This will make Wellington BESS one of the largest battery storage projects in NSW. Wellington is being constructed at 6773 and 6909 Goolma Road, Wuuluman NSW 2820. The project site is situated within the Central-West Orana Renewable energy Zone (CWO REZ), in the Dubbo Regional Council local government area (LGA).
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).
Where is the Wellington Stage 1 battery located?
On Tuesday, the company announced it had reached financial close on the 300 MW, 600 MWh Wellington stage 1 battery, which is located next to the existing Wellington and Wellington North solar farms in western NSW.
I object to this Battery Energy Storage System because it is a part of the fake green RenewaBULL Energy Transition – that is the most scandalous, idiotic rip-off of Australian people that I have ever seen in 6 decades!
