4 FAQs about Victoria energy storage cabinet policy

Why is Victoria a good place to store batteries?

Victoria is the home of big batteries and has legislated storage targets of at least 2.6 GW by 2030 and 6.3 GW by 2035 to provide crucial support for more renewable capacity. Storage is a vital part of our electricity grid. In the future, much of our energy will be generated closer to where it is used and the way we use it will be more efficient.

What happens if Victoria fails to secure long-duration storage capacity?

Victoria's independent infrastructure adviser has warned the failure to secure long-duration storage capacity poses a high risk to the state's energy transition that could lead to higher prices, unreliable supply and increased demand for gas.

How many large-scale storage systems does Victoria have?

Victoria has 12 commissioned large-scale storage systems and 3 in commissioning – with a total output capacity of 1028 MW and storage capacity of more than 1.7 GWh. Storage capacity = how much total energy is stored in each battery. Output capacity = how much energy a battery can provide at a given time.
