Large network batteries
Our local network connected batteries store excess energy produced by local rooftop solar generation.
They’re connected to our High Voltage electricity network. Each one is a large 4MW/8MWh battery allowing more solar energy to be sent into the grid while the sun is shining, storing it locally for use locally when electricity demand is high.
Visit Talking Energy (our community engagement website) for more information on the roll out of local network-connected batteries across Queensland and to get in touch with any questions.

We have more than 50 batteries across Queensland to store 400MWh of solar everyday.
