Vicinity Centres and Enel X are proud to announce the successful launch of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) at Vicinity's Lake Haven Centre1, NSW, and Broadmeadows Central1, VIC. The innovative joint venture highlights a commitment to sustainability and energy resilience.
Under the partnership, Vicinity managed the engineering and construction contracting of the battery systems, while Enel X took charge of system maintenance, operation, and ongoing optimisation of the batteries to support the electricity grid and generate value from energy markets.
The batteries are now operational and fully integrated within energy markets and operated by Enel X via its market-leading Virtual Power Plant (VPP)2, maximising green energy production and enhancing energy resilience for customers by mitigating high energy costs and the risk of blackouts.
