ons, in the Australian power system. The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has indicated that 19 G of storage will be needed in 2030. This requires significant growth in capacity, in just over five years, from the 1.4 GW of batteries and 1.

How can renewable storage technology transform Australia?

Renewable storage technologies have the potential to revolutionise clean and reliable energy access in remote communities, support cost-effective decarbonisation in industry and transform Australia into a green hydrogen export superpower.

Will energy storage transform Australia's energy generation mix?

Following the recent unprecedented renewable energy boom, 2019 is set to focus on how renewables can transform Australia’s energy generation mix. This is not being driven by ideology, but by economics. Energy storage will play an important role in this transformation.

Which energy storage options are a good option for the future?

Pumped Hydro Energy Storage (PHES), Compressed Air Energy Storage System (CAES), and green hydrogen (via fuel cells, and fast response hydrogen-fueled gas peaking turbines) will be options for medium to long-term storage. Batteries and SCs are assessed as a prudent option for the immediate net zero targets for 2030–2050.
