Overview
The Victorian Big Battery is a 300 MW grid-scale battery storage project in Geelong, Australia which stores enough energy in reserve to power over one million Victorian homes for 1/2 an hour.
The battery has a 250 MW grid service contract with AEMO under direction from the Victorian Government. It supports Victoria’s clean energy transition and secure reliable, affordable power for Victorians.
Battery
The 300 MW / 470 MWh battery consists of 210 Tesla Megapacks covering an area smaller than the football oval at Geelong’s GMHBA Stadium.

Location
The Victorian Big Battery is located next to AusNet Services’ existing Moorabool Terminal Station, approximately 13km northwest of Geelong.
The site was chosen to allow the battery to connect into the existing high voltage transmission hub which means the power can be sent quicky to where it is needed.
