ACEN, Marubeni partners to develop an offshore wind project in Australia

The partnership is expected to invest $218.3 to the project.

Ayala Group consortium, ACEN Australia, signed a cooperation agreement with Marubeni Asian Power Singapore for the joint development of a 200 MW/400 MWh (2-hour) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in New South Wales, Australia.

Under the agreement, both parties will work together to deliver the New England 400 MWh BESS. The 50/50 joint project is expected to invest $218.3m (AU$250m) to be completed by 2025.

The New England Solar is currently being built in stages near Uralla in New South Wales (NSW). Stage 1 of the solar facility (400 MW) generated clean, renewable electricity into NSW and Queensland in 2023. Stage 2 will begin construction in 2024.

This partnership marks the initial stage of the 200 MW battery with potential for future expansion. The project is supported by host landholders, First Nations, and the Uralla community.

Transgrid’s Lumea will connect the grid-forming BESS to the grid, supporting a secure energy supply as the network transitions from aging coal fire power stations to new renewable generation and energy storage.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
