Neoen Detaches Big Battery Project from Large Wind Farm Development
Neoen is detaching the Mount Hopeful battery from the wind project surrounding it, as it continues to develop the project.
The 350 megawatt wind project, located just outside Gladstone, has all government approvals but is still in the final development phase.
- The Mount Hopeful battery is now being proposed as a standalone development.
- It will have up to 600 megawatts (MW) of storage, with four hours of storage capacity.
- The proposed start year for the first stage is 2028.
The battery will be located near Powerlink’s Bouldercombe to Larcom Creek 275 kilovolt (kV) power line reinforcement project.
