Australia's Waratah Super Battery is ready to operate at full capacity after a replacement transformer was energised, overcoming delays caused by a transformer failure last year. The battery, at 850 MW and 1680 MWh, plays a key role in grid stability through its Security Integrity Protection Scheme (SIPS) contract.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can now pitch grid operators and renewable developers on the Waratah battery's full capacity as firming and grid security demand rises in NSW. Prepare for new contracts where its large, fast battery can replace ageing coal reliably.
