Equis has engaged specialist consultants to assess potential environmental impacts and engage with the local community.

The Project has been granted development approval on the 11th July 2023.

Lower Wonga (Woolooga), Queensland

The proposed Lower Wonga (Woolooga) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is located approximately 0.8km southwest of the Woolooga Substation on Gympie Woolooga Road. The BESS has a battery energy storage capacity up to 200MW and discharge capacity up to 800MWh, which is enough power to supply electricity for up to 380,000 homes for four hours.

The BESS site will be connected to Queensland’s electricity grid via a transmission line that is connects to the 275kV Woolooga Substation. The project will help to secure Queensland’s future electricity demands.
