About Augusta BESS
The Project
The proposed Augusta BESS is situated in Port Paterson, South Australia, approximately 800m northeast of the Davenport Substation. The project will occupy around 8.5 hectares of land. This project promises significant benefits and improvements to the local energy infrastructure.
Augusta BESS will provide a total capacity of 270MW/540MWh and will be integrated into the existing transmission line.
The clean energy brought by Augusta BESS will yield numerous advantages to South Australia and Australia’s grid network, particularly in terms of grid stability. Additionally, it will generate more economic benefits and job opportunities for the local community.
