GESS was developed and structured by Edify and financed by ARENA and DELWP as providers of $25 million in grant funding with Edify in a consortium with WIRCON as 50-50 joint venture co-investors. Tesla was the battery provider, RCR the EPC contractor and EnergyAustralia is the long-term operator of GESS under a novel BSSA.
