GE Vernova has been selected by Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners to provide Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) integration for the second stage of their Supernode project in Queensland, Australia. This phase will add 250 MW/1,000 MWh of storage, contributing to what is set to become one of the largest battery storage facilities in the Australian national electricity market.
The Supernode project will feature a 750 MW BESS installation with storage capacity lasting 2-4 hours. Stage 2, now underway, follows GE Vernova’s prior selection for the first stage, involving a 250 MW/500 MWh battery storage system. Completion of the first stage is expected by early 2024.
Ed Torres, Business Leader of GE Vernova’s Solar & Storage Solutions, noted that the company’s product offerings and expertise are well-aligned with the needs of the Supernode project. GE Vernova’s role includes supplying power conditioning systems, power plant controller SCADA systems, integration engineering, and GPS connection support.
