Currently storage of electrical energy in Australia consists of a small number of pumped hydroelectric facilities and grid-scale batteries, and a diversity of battery storage systems at small scale, used mainly for backup. To balance energy use across the Australian economy, heat and fuel (chemical energy) storage are also required.
For battery storage that's 10GW of 24/7 of new nuclear power station builds each year @ £5B each that last 60 years at zero CO2, if that matters. Put another way, the cost of 1TWh of storage, about 2 day's worth of Australia's energy supply, not new energy, would pay for perhaps 36GW of nuclear capacity at $5B/GW and 90% duty cycle, etc.
Tradies and suppliers who specialise in energy storage solutions are likely to see ongoing growth and opportunity in the market. Battery storage installations rise sharply in response to soaring energy costs Australian homeowners are rapidly investing in home battery storage systems as electricity prices reach record levels nationwide.
New research from Cornwall Insight Australia (CIA) projects that Australia has approximately 7 GW of battery storage projects in the pipeline.
