AGL’s Torrens Island Energy Storage Facility
Technology group Wärtsilä has completed construction on energy company AGL’s Torrens Island Grid Scale battery energy storage system (ESS). The 250-megawatt (MW)/250 megawatt-hour (MWh) ESS installed at Torrens Island in South Australia is the second-largest operational battery in Australia.
The project delivers a major step towards Australia’s renewable energy future, supporting decarbonisation goals. The ESS will provide enough electricity to power approximately 75,000 South Australian homes for one hour, with the potential to extend the duration to four hours in the future.
Stirlings supplied Stainless steel Grade 316/L Plate, Pipe and Fittings for this project.
