YEF’s Chris Wallin will be presenting at the conference on Lessons from a community battery project, based on experiences from YEF’s community battery pilot project in Fitzroy North, Victoria.

About the conference

The Australian Energy & Battery Storage Conference will focus on the latest development of large-scale batteries, pumped hydro projects & community batteries. The rapidly changing environment and technological advancements push forward the future goal of a successful 100% renewable energy transition. The surge in transmission investments also continues to ensure the opportunity to effectively improve long-term energy reliability. This exciting event allows the opportunity for greater transparency and effective collaboration across the sector.

Topics will include:

• Policy – new proposed changes to the electricity grid (NEM) and the impact new energy storage will play (including REZ’s)
• The latest advances in battery storage technology
• Investment considerations for the roll-out of energy storage in the NEM
• Case studies on the construction of new large-scale batteries (and pumped hydro)
• Case studies of the actual operation of batteries in the grid
• The transmission angle – how batteries (and pumped hydro projects) can be connected to the grid
