| Two large-scale batteries will be built in Kerang and Ballarat this year. |
The batteries, which will store solar and wind-generated energy, will be built near Ballarat and Kerang and will have a combined generation capacity of 55 MW and a combined energy storage of 80 megawatt-hours – giving them more than half the power of South Australia's gigantic 100MW Tesla battery.
