Riverina and Darlington Point
The combined 150MW / 300MWh Riverina and Darlington Point Energy Storage Systems, currently in development, will be located adjacent to TransGrid’s Darlington Point Substation in the Murrumbidgee Shire, South West NSW.
Developed by Edify, the lithium-ion battery will serve to add more flexible dispatchable capacity to the NSW market and will complement the significant presence of renewable generation in the region. It consists of three independent but co-located projects:
- 60MW / 120MWh Riverina Energy Storage System 1
- 65MW / 130MW Riverina Energy Storage System 2
- 25MW / 50MWh Darlington Point Energy Storage System
The project has been developed to meet the requirements of Shell Energy and the NSW Government, with Shell Energy signing a long-term services agreement to access operational rights to the 60MW / 120MWh Riverina Energy Storage System 1.
Critical to achieving Australia’s carbon emission reduction targets is the ability to rapidly increase the supply of renewable and secure energy available to government, businesses and consumers. The delivery of the Riverina and Darlington Point Energy Storage Systems will help provide innovative solutions to our complex energy challenges.
The development is on Wiradjuri country, the largest Aboriginal Nation in New South Wales. Known as the “people of 3 rivers” the Wiradjuri people are proud traditional custodians of the land with a deep understanding of how to live in harmony with the environment.
