Hengtong Cable Australia (HCA) will be supplying Consolidated Power Projects (CPP) with 22km of 33kV for its Williamsdale BESS project.

Eku Energy has partnered with the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Government to deliver a 250 megawatt (MW) / 500 megawatt-hour (MWh) battery energy storage system (BESS).  

Located at Williamsdale in the south of Canberra, the battery will store enough renewable energy to power one-third of Canberra for two hours1 during peak demand periods, increasing energy security and reliability for Canberrans. 

The Williamsdale BESS is part of the ACT Government’s Big Canberra Battery project. It further supports Canberra households in their use of renewable energy and the ACT Government’s commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2045.  

The Williamsdale BESS will provide a range of energy and essential system security services, particularly during the summer season when the electricity grid can come under stress. It can also provide fast acting frequency control services in just a few milliseconds to support the grid and minimise risks of disturbances.
