In all, Australia''s total cumulative installed battery storage capacity by the end of 2023 was counted at 5,966MWh. Interestingly, residential still made up the largest share of that, with 2,770MWh accounting for 46% of the total, while utility-scale had a 44% share with 2,603MWh online and distributed C&I taking just a 10% share, with 593MWh.
Produced by consultancy Accenture, the report found that there is an opportunity for the Australian battery industry to create AU$16.9 billion (US$11.32 billion) economic value by 2030. This will however require decisive action from the likes of government, industry and academic institutions through the country''s National Battery
The results show that MPS has a significant economic advantage over Li-ion batteries as storage capacity increases, particularly in configurations applied T for upper water storage. MPS outperforms Li-ion in buildings over 150, 50, 100, and 50 m height for T/T, T/S, GR/T, and GR/S configurations respectively.
