Set for full operation by May 2027, with 13 in Perth and 5 in Bunbury, the project aims to smooth wild energy price swings and ensure reliable power. While climate advocates applaud the move, they’re urging legislation to lock in renewable energy targets for long-term commitment. The federal government sees this as a key step to integrate more renewables, reduce network costs, and meet future energy needs—marking a dramatic shift from near-zero grid-scale storage just three years ago.
