SITE SPECIFIC INFORMATION

• The open-cycle gas turbines would support the Gladstone region by delivering reliable gas-generated power to homes, businesses and local industry. This type of generation is a highly responsive, efficient and flexible energy solution, capable of being activated and deactivated quickly to meet changing power network demands. Gas turbines can also operate for multiple days to support demand during periods of low power supply to the network. We plan to build the Gas Turbines in stages of 2 turbines each.

• We plan to build the BESS in three stages and at full capacity it would be able to store about 780 MW for eight hours. This energy can be released back into the grid during times of low supply or high demand, helping reduce electricity waste and maintain a more efficient, secure and reliable energy system. The BESS would use industry standard grid-scale Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries, one of the safest options for large-scale energy storage. LFP batteries safely operate across a wider temperature range and store more energy per unit than other batteries. This makes them ideal for safely storing large amounts of electricity for quick release when the network needs it.
