BESS
The purpose of the development is to assist the national electrical grid at times of peak demand and in times of emergency. The project will be constructed on private land, approximately 6 kilometres southeast of Deniliquin, NSW. The 120MW / 480MWh BESS project will be located on a development site of approximately 7-hectares and will connect directly into the 132kV Deniliquin substation located to the northwest on an adjacent site.
Construction and operation of the project would involve the following key components:

Given the significant potential that the development has in contributing to the clean energy transition and climate action targets of the state, the Deniliquin BESS proposal is considered as a State Significant Development (SSD) by the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI).
Avenis is currently in the Scoping Phase of the Deniliquin BESS proposal. A Scoping Report helps to determine which technical assessments will be included within the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and is submitted to DPHI at an early stage of the development application process. Following the submission of the Scoping Report and evaluation by DPHI, Secretary Environmental Assessment Requirements (SEARs) will be issued, outlining required assessments and considerations for the EIS.
Once SEARs are supplied, EIS reporting commences. An EIS is a very in-depth document that outlines specialist assessments and contains detailed planning information regarding the development.
You can learn more about the SSD process on the NSW Government’s Department of Planning website.
The project will deliver significant benefits to the region:
Community feedback is important to the development of the Deniliquin BESS, and input from the community will help formulate the Scoping Report.
