Perth-headquartered renewable energy developer BLT Energy has been granted development approval for its Red Gully 800 MW / 4,800 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS).

To be located adjacent to state-owned utility Western Power’s Regans Terminal, Red Gully is described as the largest utility-scale BESS proposed in WA, with phase 1 delivering up to 400 MW of power with 2,400 MWh of storage to the South West Interconnected System (SWIS).

Other major operational BESS projects in WA include Neoen’s Stage 1 (219 MW) and Stage 2 (341 MW) Collie Battery, Synergy’s 200 MW / 800 MWh Kwinana BESS Stage 2, and Synergy’s 500 MW / 2,400 MWh Collie BESS.

Due for completion in 2027, the Red Gully project compliments WA’s Clean Energy Link – North transmission network upgrade program.
