About the Project

Synergy, Western Australia’s state-owned electricity generator and retailer, together with NHOA, selected Genus Industrial Services as EPC to deliver a 100 MW / 200 MWh Battery Energy Storage System at the Kwinana Power Station site. Nexans supported Genus with engineering expertise and locally manufactured cable solutions to provide additional security and stability to WA’s power system and enable higher renewable penetration as part of the Energy Transformation Strategy.

Build Western Australia’s first major grid-connected BESS to:

  • Absorb excess renewable generation and balance the grid
