The Victoria government announced funding for two new batteries on Tuesday – a 125MW/250MWh battery at Koorangie to be built by Edify Energy near the town of Kerang in north-west Victoria, and a 100MW/200MWh battery at Tareng in the state’s south west to be built by FRV. It’s the Koorangie battery that is of most interest, because it represents the first battery in the world – as far as we can tell – to be contracted to provide “system strength” services to a key part of the Victorian grid.
