The Merredin BESS is located on the outskirts of Merredin in Western Australia’s Central Wheatbelt and connects directly to the local 22kV powerline that connects the zone substation to local houses and rooftop solar. The project stores excess energy during times of high energy generation and releases it back into the grid at times of high demand, strengthening the resilience of the local grid.

Working with the community
Our approach aims to mitigate any project impacts and maximise opportunities for local communities. We have been consulting nearby neighbours and the Shire of Merredin Council to build project success from the onset.
We will keep the community and stakeholders informed of project progress and impacts throughout its lifecycle. Our project team is available to answer any questions and welcomes your feedback.
