The Large-scale Battery Storage Knowledge Sharing Workshop was held in Melbourne on 21 May 2019. We heard presentations about the large-scale battery initiatives from South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales; project lessons on LSBS functional capabilities; and accessing revenue streams for battery projects.

Why come together?
Sharing knowledge can help to accelerate the development and uptake of renewable energy. Guided by this, ARENA brought together more than 60 stakeholders from state governments, market bodies and industry to share insights and lessons about large-scale battery storage systems.
The Large-scale Battery Storage (LSBS) Knowledge Sharing Workshop was held in Melbourne on 21 May 2019. We heard presentations about the large-scale battery initiatives from South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales; project lessons on LSBS functional capabilities; and accessing revenue streams for battery projects.
Following presentations on the future energy system, a solution design session was held regarding potential regulatory, technical and commercial changes required to maximise the impact of large-scale battery projects. This summary presents key takeaways and discussion points from the workshop. While ARENA works to ensure that knowledge is shared effectively from its projects, due to the sensitive nature of some information presented, Chatham House Rules was applied to this workshop.
At the end of this document, you will find the presentations from the day that were approved for sharing. We thank Aurecon for its assistance in compiling much of the information in this document.
