Avenis Energy is proposing to develop a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) approximately 11 km northwest of Coffs Harbour Town Centre in Karangi and adjacent to the TransGrid 330kV Substation.
The purpose of the development is to support the National Electricity Market during peak demand and during adverse network operation. It will ensure stability of supply throughout the region. The Project will involve the development, construction, operation, and eventual decommissioning.
The Karangi BESS is expected to have a capacity of 240MW with a 4-hour storage duration – this is equivalent to powering around 375,000* households for four hours.The project will incorporate the latest industry technology and adhere to all safety and hazard regulations set by the State and Australian Government.
The project's design and layout will comply with local planning laws, RFS guidelines, and be carefully structured to minimize potential environmental impacts. It will also protect local cultural heritage, and address concerns of neighbouring communities.
The Karangi BESS would include the following key components:
• Battery units
• Inverter stations
• Transformers
• Switch rooms
• Switch yard
• On-site water storage
• Fire suppressions systems
• Security fencing• Parking site
• Site office and amenities for operational use.
During construction, temporary infrastructure including construction facilities, site offices and amenities, tool and material storage sheds, construction staff car parking, component laydown areas and truck parking and unloading would also be required and commercial opportunities around Coffs Harbour.
