Sungrow partners with ENGIE to expand Victoria BESS project
This 150 MW/300 MWh Hazelwood BESS expansion will feature 66 units of Sungrow’s ST5015-UX BESS, part of the PowerTitan 2.0 series, alongside 33 units of SC6900UD-MV PCS inverters and Sungrow’s smart controller EMS3000.
PV inverter and energy storage system provider Sungrow is partnering with ENGIE and Elecnor on the 150 MW/300 MWh Hazelwood BESS expansion (HBESS 2) in Victoria, Australia, with Sungrow Australia as the technology provider and Elecnor as the BOP contractor.
This project will feature 66 units of Sungrow’s ST5015-UX battery energy storage system (BESS), part of the PowerTitan 2.0 series, alongside 33 units of SC6900UD-MV Power Conversion System (PCS) inverters and Sungrow’s smart controller EMS3000, Sungrow said.
With commercial operations targeted for 2028, the Hazelwood BESS 2 project is expected to add significant battery storage capacity to Victoria’s energy infrastructure.
Grid-forming technology will further enhance the project’s capabilities, helping strengthen network performance as renewable generation increases, Sungrow said.
“The Hazelwood BESS 2 represents an important step in advancing grid-forming energy storage in Australia. Through our collaboration with ENGIE, we aim to bring advanced energy storage technology to support grid stability and enable greater integration of renewable energy,” said Thomas Hou, Managing Director at Sungrow Australia. “We look forward to contributing our expertise and supporting the continued development of a more resilient energy system in Victoria.”
