Calala, New South Wales
The proposed Calala Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is located approximately 5.8km southeast of the Tamworth CBD within the Tamworth regional municipality. The BESS has a charge/discharge capacity of up to 300MW and an energy storage capacity up to 600MWh, which is enough power to supply electricity for up to 570,000 homes for two hours.
The BESS site will be connected to NSW’s electricity grid via a transmission line that connects to the 330kV Tamworth Substation. The project will help meet NSW’s future electricity demands.
The BESS will provide significant local benefits during construction and operation including investment in the local economy. The BESS will create approximately 170 full times jobs during construction and 7 during operations as well as funding community programs.
