On July 30, according to Reuters, a fire broke out at Tesla’s battery energy storage project base in Australia. It is understood that the project is located in Moorabool near Geelong, Australia. The energy storage base is currently in the testing phase and has not been integrated into the main network.

It is reported that the project has just been registered a few days ago, and the energy storage capacity is 300MW/450MWh, and the energy that can be stored in each energy storage container is about 3MWh. At present, the energy storage project is Australia’s largest battery energy storage project.

The project is currently owned and operated by Neoen. In a statement, Louis de Sambucy, the managing director of Neoen Australia, said: “We can confirm that in today’s preliminary test, at approximately 10 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. at Victoria University. A fire broke out in one of the battery’s Tesla Megapacks. No one was injured and the scene has been evacuated. “Neoen and Tesla are working closely with the emergency services on site to control the situation. The site has been disconnected from the grid and will not affect the power supply. “We will provide an update and further details.”

The spokesperson said that 13 tons of lithium-ion batteries in a container were completely ignited. A spokesperson said: “The staff are working hard to control the fire and prevent it from spreading to nearby batteries.

This is Australia’s first largest utility-scale battery energy storage project using Tesla Megapacks (battery modules) (the Hornsdale Tesla battery before Neoen used Powerpacks), although Transgrid built in western Sydney Megapack is also used in the 50MW/75MWh Wallgrove large battery project. At present, this is the first such accident in a battery energy storage facility on the Australian grid scale. There are currently six large-scale battery energy storage projects in operation in Australia. In addition, the Victoria Large Battery Project and WandoanSouth Large Battery Project in Queensland have just received registration and have started or are about to start testing. Three large-scale battery energy storage projects are also under construction.Return to Sohu to see more
