A new 600MW/1,600MWh energy storage facility using Tesla's Megapack will soon connect to the grid in Plumpton, Victoria. The transformers essential for the connection have arrived, marking a significant milestone for the Melbourne Renewable Energy Hub. This facility is projected to supply electricity to 200,000 homes during peak periods, contributing to Victoria's renewable energy and net-zero goals. Lumea, the site operator, expressed pride in their collaboration with partners to bring the project to fruition while emphasizing its role in enhancing energy reliability.
The accelerated development of the MREH plays a key role in meeting Victoria's ambitious timeline of renewable energy and net zero targets.
The site is expected to become operational sometime this year, connecting to a first-of-its-kind underground substation, coming as the latest of a series of projects.
