Planning is underway for the world s largest battery to be built in the NSW Hunter Valley, with the company behind it confident that it will be up and running in two years.
Key points:
The battery would store mainly solar-generated power
There are concerns about the battery s impact on the habitat of an endangered bird, the regent honeyeater
CEP Energy, whose chairman is former NSW premier Morris Iemma, has secured a 30-year lease to install a 1,200-megawatt battery at Kurri Kurri north-west of Newcastle.
