Hengtong Cable Australia (HCA) has been awarded the supply of 15km of 33kV and 45km of LV flexible cable to United Group for the Western Downs BESS Project.

Located within Neoen’s Western Downs Green Power Hub, next to its 460 MWp solar farm, the battery will deliver a range of essential services to the grid.

The battery, consisting of Tesla Megapack systems, will leverage the existing infrastructure of Neoen’s Western Downs Green Power Hub which includes a 460 MWp solar farm, currently nearing completion. It will be located next to the Western Downs substation with Powerlink delivering the connection works, including a dedicated high-voltage line which will connect the battery to the transmission network.
