Mint Renewables has obtained planning approval for an 800MWh battery energy storage system near Kojonup in Western Australia, a 100MW system with 8 hours duration. The project connects to the South West Interconnected System and meets the minimum 6-hour duration requirement for capacity payments under Western Australia's Reserve Capacity Mechanism.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Western Australia's grid is opening long-duration battery projects with capacity payments linked to 6+ hour storage. You can position your project to tap into this niche and differentiate your offering on duration and market rules.
