Avenis Energy has applied for a state planning permit for its proposed Grahamvale BESS, which will have a capacity of 480 MW with 4-hours (1920 MWh) of storage.

The project site is on private land, approximately 5km north-east of Shepparton CBD, within Victoria’s Central North Renewable Energy Zone.

The BESS will connect directly into the 220kV Shepparton Terminal Sub-station located west of the project site on an adjacent property.

During the construction phase an estimated 120-180 workers will be required, with at least four ongoing full-time roles required for the 50-year lifetime of the BESS.

In NSW, Avenis’s proposed Sunshine Estate BESS, to be constructed on private land approximately 3km south-west of North Rothbury, has been placed on public exhibition by the state planning authority.

The 120 MW / 480 MWh BESS project will be located on a development site of approximately 10 hectares and connect directly into Ausgrid’s 132kV Rothbury sub-station, located to the south-east on an adjacent site.

The project is expected to require a workforce of up to 90 at the peak of construction with 1-2 ongoing operational roles.
