Pacific Green has achieved planning consent from the South Australian Government for its first two grid-scale battery energy parks in the Limestone Coast region of South Australia. The Limestone Coast Energy Park assets will consist of a 0.5GW /1.5 GWh battery energy storage system developed and constructed in two phases over the next 36 months. Once operational they will significantly strengthen the region?s grid stability.

As part of the approval process and to minimise local impacts, Pacific Green engaged with numerous independent specialists to assess a wide range of environmental, technical and heritage aspects as well as undertaking targeted stakeholder and community consultation. Construction of the energy parks will commence towards the end of this year, with the first phase expected to be operational in the second half of 2026. Pacific Green is committed to working with local suppliers and with a local workforce throughout the construction phase, wherever possible.

The company has launched a supplier portal and will host a local supplier networking morning in the coming weeks. The Limestone Coast Energy Parks mark the first set of assets of an 8.5GWh development pipeline of battery energy parks Pacific Green is rolling out throughout Australia. Leveraging its significant experience building out battery energy parks in the UK and Europe, the company is aiming to be one of Australia?s leading developers, and to help accelerate the country?s transition to renewables by building a multi-gigawatt platform nationwide.
