🔋 Victoria’s Powerful New Battery Is Now Live – Here’s Why It Matters for You!

What if we told you a giant battery — the size of 100 shipping containers — just got switched on in Victoria to help power thousands of homes?

That’s exactly what happened in northwest Victoria near Kerang, where the Koorangie Energy Storage System (KESS) is now fully operational!

⚡ So, What’s KESS?

Think of it like a giant rechargeable battery for the electricity grid. It stores solar and wind power when there’s too much of it, and releases it when the grid needs more.

📦 It uses 100 Tesla Megapacks (yes, from the same company that makes electric cars!)💪 It can store 370 megawatt-hours (MWh) — that’s enough energy to power 350,000 homes for two hours!

🛠️ It took over 520 people to build, and now 4 full-time experts keep it running smoothly

🤝 It has a 20-year agreement with AEMO (the people who run the electricity market)

🌿 Why It’s a Big Deal

Northwest Victoria is full of wind and solar energy potential — but there's been one big problem: not enough grid strength to handle all that clean energy.

That’s where KESS comes in. With Tesla’s grid-forming inverters, this battery helps balance voltage and frequency (like keeping your tap water pressure just right) and lets more renewables connect to the grid.

And with its long-term deal with Shell Energy, it's not just a science experiment — it's a fully operational clean energy solution.

🧡 Respecting the Land & Community

KESS was built on the land of the Barapa Barapa, Wamba Wamba, and Yorta Yorta peoples — and the project made sure to work closely with local communities and the Gannawarra Shire Council.

The result? More jobs, lower electricity costs, and a step closer to a cleaner, greener future for Victoria and beyond.
