A long-term service agreement (LTSA) between Wärtsilä and Revera Energy covers performance support across the asset’s lifecycle.
The facility will provide frequency control ancillary services, fast frequency response and energy arbitrage in the National Electricity Market (NEM), with ElectraNet as the transmission network service provider and Enerven as the balance of plant contractor.
Wärtsilä’s total operational energy storage portfolio in Australia now exceeds 6GWh across four projects.
Don Lee, vice-president of global operations at Wärtsilä Energy Storage, said the project illustrates the pace at which storage can be deployed in markets with high renewable energy penetration.
“Delivering the first stage of the Bungama energy storage system in one of the world’s most dynamic renewable energy markets demonstrates what advanced technology and deep system collaboration can achieve,” Lee said.
