Project Information
Panorama Battery Project
Panorama Battery is currently under development by Canadian Solar. The project is located approximately 5.8km south west of the City of Bathurst in New South Wales. The project consists of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) with a capacity of 100 Megawatts/200 Megawatt Hours and is located directly adjacent to the existing TransGrid Panorama 132kV Substation. Panorama Battery will play an important role in providing stability to the network by charging up during the day when renewable energy generation is high and then providing that power back to the grid at night to support high demand.
Technical Summary
| System capacity: | 100MW/200MWh |
| Battery Type: | Canadian Solar SolBank Energy Storage System |
The site was selected due to its access to the existing TransGrid substation, land use, site access, minimal environmental disturbance and terrain.
Panorama Battery Benefits:
- Increase local employment and investment opportunities during construction
- The development of storage projects along major transmission routes is in line with the Federal Government’s direction to improve the affordability and security of the national energy market while also delivering on international climate commitments.
- Battery storage can add significant benefits to the NSW electricity grid because it allows for the dispatch of energy in accordance with market demand
