Energy storage solutions company Sunwoda Energy has joined forces with Gryphon Energy to develop a 1.6GWh energy storage project in Australia.
The deal was formalised at the All-Energy Australia 2024 event.
To be built in Queensland, the proposed Australian energy storage project is expected to complete delivery, grid connection, and operation in 2026. The facility is said to become one of Australia’s largest energy storage initiatives.
Upon commencing operations, the project is expected to improve the stability, reliability, and flexibility of both Queensland’s and the national power grid.
To address the scale and complexity of the project, Sunwoda Energy will deploy its NoahX 5MWh liquid cooling energy storage system, which features the company’s self-developed 314Ah cells.
The Australian energy storage project will also leverage Reverse DC Coupling technology to provide customised energy storage solutions, ensuring efficient and high-quality delivery.
Headquartered in China, Sunwoda Energy is engaged in delivering energy storage solutions, including network energy, residential/C&I/utility ESS, and smart energy solutions.
The company provides integrated source-grid-load-storage-cloud solutions, with services encompassing sales, investment, construction, and operational management across the entire product lifecycle.
In August 2024, Sunwoda Energy connected a 5MW/11MWh project in New South Wales to the grid. This solar-storage demonstration plant is said to have significantly improved the flexibility of photovoltaic (PV) generation.
Sunwoda Energy and Gryphon Energy intend to deepen their collaboration, contributing to the sustainable growth of global clean energy in the coming years.
On a similar note, earlier this week, grid-scale energy storage solutions company Energy Vault signed an agreement with Enervest Group for the deployment of a 1GWh battery energy storage system (BESS) at the Stoney Creek site in New South Wales, Australia.
As part of the agreement, the companies are finalising development and grid application approvals, moving the project closer to a final investment decision (FID).
