CASE STUDY: SA BIG BATTERY
More commonly known as the ‘Tesla Big Battery’, Neoen’s Hornsdale Power Reserve has been keeping the lights on and electricity costs low for South Australians, since 2017.
A number of independent reviews have highlighted how the big battery has delivered on high expectations for its market and network impact.
For example, on 16 November 2019, South Australia was islanded due to a failure of the interconnector causing a frequency rise and price volatility in market prices.
The Big Battery helped energy system to return to its normal frequency range within minutes—saving consumers an estimated $14M!
