Community batteries to Power Melbourne
The City of Melbourne is establishing a network of coordinated neighbourhood-scale batteries to deliver more renewable energy into the grid and drive sustainability.
The Power Melbourne project will see the installation of a battery network across the city, with a focus on City of Melbourne existing infrastructure initially, as well as the Melbourne Innovation District located in the CBD’s north.
A business case for the pilot battery network will be developed with a potential future capacity of 5MW by 2024, accelerating the City of Melbourne’s ambition of becoming a city powered by 100 per cent renewable energy.
