Waroona Super Project: WA's Massive Solar-Battery Hybrid Set to Replace Coal Power

🌞 What's Happening at Waroona?

1,000 MW of solar power combined with 660 MW of battery storage—all in one location, 120 km south of Perth. That's the ambitious vision behind Frontier Energy's Waroona Energy Park, set to become Western Australia's largest solar-battery hybrid facility.

This isn't just another solar farm. It's a game-changing project designed to fill the energy void left when WA's last coal-fired power stations shut down by 2029.

The Numbers That Matter:

• Stage 1: 120 MW solar + 80 MW/360 MWh battery (ready by late 2027)

• Full Scale: 1,000 MW solar + 660 MW/2,500 MWh battery storage

• Annual Earnings Potential: $58 million (Stage 1 alone)

• Capacity Credits: Up to $31.8 million annually

⚡ Why Waroona Has the Winning Edge

Unlike many renewable projects that get stuck in transmission line delays, Waroona has a secret weapon: its location next to the Landwehr Terminal, a robust grid connection point.

What this means:

• ✅ No expensive new transmission infrastructure needed

• ✅ Faster project delivery

• ✅ Lower costs passed on to consumers

• ✅ Critical for WA's isolated grid (the world's largest standalone power network)

🔋 Solar + Battery: The Perfect Power Couple

Think of solar panels as the earners and batteries as the savers. Here's how this hybrid model works brilliantly:

1. Daytime: Solar panels generate maximum electricity

2. Storage: Excess power charges massive batteries

3. Evening Peak: Batteries dispatch stored energy when demand (and prices) spike

4. Result: Reliable, clean power exactly when Australians need it most

This strategy is already proven successful at Cunderdin, Australia's first large-scale DC-coupled solar-battery project in WA.

🏗️ Federal Government Backs the Vision

Waroona isn't just a good idea—it has serious backing:

• Selected for the Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) underwriting support

• One of only 4 WA projects to receive this federal endorsement

• Competing for lucrative capacity credits on top of electricity sales revenue

This government support signals confidence in hybrid renewable technology as Australia's energy future.

🌏 WA's Clean Energy Transition: The Big Picture

Western Australia isn't just dipping its toes into renewables—it's diving in headfirst.

The Challenge:

• At least 1.3 GW of coal and gas plants retiring before 2030

• Peak demand continuing to grow

• Need for dispatchable power (available on-demand, not just when the sun shines)

The Solution:

Solar-battery hybrids like Waroona offer:

• 🌱 Zero emissions power generation

• 💰 Lower costs than traditional fossil fuels

• ⚡ Grid stability with dispatchable storage

• 🚀 Faster deployment than wind farms

• 📋 Fewer planning hurdles compared to other renewables
