Development projects
Located on a 33,000-hectare site next to key transmission infrastructure in the NSW South-West Renewable Energy Zone, the Yanco Delta project comprises a 1.5GW wind farm and an 800 MWh battery. The project has received both New South Wales Government development approval (December 2023) and EPBC approval (February 2024) making it one of the
Battery storage | SSE Renewables
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) Battery storage has a vital role to play in helping the UK and Ireland decarbonise. Batteries can store the increasing levels of renewable energy generated from sources like solar farms and wind turbines when they are in surplus. Batteries can then supply the stored power back to the Grid when it is needed
