Once complete, the eight sites, located at Penrith, South Marsden Park, Seven Hills, Emu Plains, Maldon, North Leppington, Cawdor and Cranebrook, will together deliver around 40MW of power output and 136MWh of storage. All sites are expected to be completed by 2029, subject to planning approvals.
Endeavour Energy Group chief executive Danny Cooper said the battery storage systems are being delivered in some of the fastest-growing communities in Australia, where population growth, new housing and increasing electrification are driving demand.
“Battery energy storage systems will make better use of renewable energy, provide greater flexibility across the energy system and support the region’s growth for decades to come,” Cooper said.

Ausconnex’s portfolio adds to a community battery sector that has grown steadily across Australia’s states and territories, each pursuing different ownership and deployment models.
