Project Battery, Cities in Australia

Gaw Capital Partners has entered Australia’s fast growing renewable energy sector with a majority investment in Maoneng Group’s Australian business, the developer of one of the largest portfolios of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Australia. Gaw Maoneng Renewables (GMR) will fast track the development of six major projects in Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia with a total of 1.9GW in battery storage and solar power generation, and explore new renewable energy opportunities. As one of the largest private portfolios of BESS projects in Australia, these projects include the Mornington BESS in Victoria and the Gould Creek BESS in South Australia, both of which have received Development Application approvals. There are three BESS projects in New South Wales, which applications have been lodged for, and the planned Merriwa Energy Hub which encompasses both battery storage and solar generation in one of the few remaining large-scale sites in the state fit for purpose.
