The next step in Victoria’s
net-zero transition.

The Portland Energy Park is a significant new grid-scale battery project to be developed in regional Victoria.

It will deliver a major increase in energy storage capacity in the region, strengthening energy and price stability for households in Victoria, and supporting the state’s net-zero transition.

The 2.5GWh energy park will provide critical support for existing and proposed renewable energy projects within the Southwest Renewable Energy Zone, and large electricity users and energy generation facilities in the area.

Once operational, the park will act to shift renewable energy into the evening peak, displacing more expensive gas generation. It is estimated that this will result in a 3.8% reduction in total wholesale energy costs for Victorian households.

The discharging of energy from the park will also enable the avoidance of approximately 66,900 tonnes of CO2 a year.
