The energy transition is more than a step change in technology; it also provides numerous opportunities to positively affect peoples’ lives. Last Saturday, Rachel Rundle and Pete Scott from our team at Eku Energy had the great pleasure to attend one of the (no doubt!) biggest events in the racing calendar of Victoria - the race at Sandown of the #Victorian Human Powered Vehicle Grand Prix series - supporting the wonderful team from Cranbourne West Primary School. As part of our 200MW/400MWh #Rangebank BESS Community Grants Program delivered in partnership with Shell Energy, we are proud to have the opportunity to support a range of community organisations giving back in the City of Casey Local Government Area. This includes supporting the amazing students and teacher leaders at Cranbourne West Primary School who have expanded their Human Powered Vehicle team and vehicles! We do this because we do not just develop the infrastructure for a better #energyfuture; we are also creating a better future for the next generation. Supporting local schools and #STEM programs for up-and-coming engineers and scientists is very close to our heart here at Eku Energy. Seeing the big smiles of the students and knowing that this support instils a greater interest in maths and science certainly is also an important part of the #energytransition. We’ve got our fingers crossed for the fourth and final race on October 19!

Today is a day for celebration – Eku Energy reached financial close for our first project in Japan. There are certain major milestones to hit until a utility scale battery energy storage system is ready to support the grid and be a major contributor to the #energytransition. Financial close is certainly one of those. As today shows, we are on track to hit all future milestones as planned to ensure the 30MW/120MWh BESS, located in #Hirohara, Miyazaki City, Miyazaki Prefecture, will supply #TokyoGas with safe, secure and reliable electricity in 2026. We are very pleased to be partnering with Kinden Corporation as well as #LooopInc and #FortecArchitects on construction and MUFG on the project financing of the #Hirohara #BESS. Huge congratulations to Kentaro Ono, Hirofumi Sho and our entire Eku Energy team in Japan.

Collaboration. Shared learnings. Getting on with it. Those three aspects seem to be the common theme here at today’s Smart Energy Council Conference in #Sydney to accelerate the #energy #transition in order to 🚀 speed up the development of transmission lines that are fit for purpose 🚀 fast track the approval processes for projects to get more generation and storage online to hit #Australia’s emissions reductions targets Big shout out to Gina Zheng, Business Development Manager here at Eku Energy for her contributions to the panel discussions together with others from Tesla, Fluence and Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd. And thanks to John Grimes and Wayne Smith for yet again putting together a great conference with insightful discussions!

Canberrans get ready for more clean energy ⚡🔋 We’ve achieved a new milestone today with the approval of the Development Application for the Williamsdale Battery Energy Storage System. This battery is part of the first stream of the Big Canberra Battery and we’re proud to be working in partnership with the ACT Government. Together, we’ll deliver safe, secure and reliable energy to Canberrans and bring the ACT Government closer towards achieving their net zero emissions ambitions.

It's the one-year #anniversary of an iconic project - the Hazelwood #Battery. It is iconic for two reasons: 1. #Hazelwood is the first operational #BESS for us at Eku Energy where we had the great privilege to partner with ENGIE and Fluence, and 2. It marks #realchange and a huge step towards creating new energy system that takes advantage of the abundance of #renewables to benefit energy consumers in Victoria, all by using existing infrastructure of a retired coal-fired power station. Thank you ENGIE for going back in time to celebrate this milestone and for being a great partner together with Fluence on this project - what a tremendous event we hosted together to mark the occasion!

It's 12 months on from celebrating the commissioning of the 150MW/150MWh Hazelwood #Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), built in partnership with Eku Energy and Fluence, at the decommissioned Hazelwood coal mine site. Marking a new era in Australia’s energy transition, #Hazelwood is the first retired coal-fired power station to host a BESS in Australia, which will deliver safe, secure and reliable energy to consumers in Victoria. Take a look back at this historic moment. #Hazelwood #ENGIE #WithENGIE #BESS

Well said Gina Zheng! It’s thanks to women like you that others get a voice. Luckily DEI - diversity, equality and inclusion - are core values at Eku Energy and as we are transforming the energy system, we are also transforming lives! 🙌🏻 👏🏼
It's not everyday you get given a mic to chat to a room of over 900 people about some of your favourite topics! 🙌 It was a real privilege to share my thoughts at #AustralianCleanEnergySummit2024's Women in Renewables lunch on a net zero by 2050 world. By 2050, I hope that we no longer need to have WiR clean energy events because our natural state would be one filled with a diversity of thought (read: thought, not gender! Because this is what this is really about). But we're a long way away in Aus, which recent stats Workplace Gender Equality Agency released made clear. In the electricity sector, women represent 30% of the total workforce. Women also represent only 18% of the total workforce’s total renumeration upper quartile, however fair more equally at 49% in the total renumeration lower quartile. 📈 Systemic change does not happen by accident, so we have a long way to go ✊🏽 Diversity of thought is critical to facilitating this energy transition and achieving net zero. So, I reiterate what I said today. To all my ladies out there, please give yourself permission (be entitled!) to be your full authentic selves. And, men, please ask yourselves: how can I be more self-aware of the power systems (pun only half intended!) and subtle nuances in my workplace to create a culture that welcomes a diversity of thought?💡 Thank you Julia Souder for being an amazing and supportive co-panellist and to Ashleigh Dalmau & the Clean Energy Council for giving us the space to be our full authentic selves and share our thoughts. Here's to more women lifting each other up, and to each and every one of us being our honest and authentic selves 🤘🏽🤘🏽🥳 #ACES2024 #cleanenergy #renewableenergy

Can Southeast Asia benefit from utility-scale energy storage? It’s been a very interesting couple of days at the #Energy Storage Asia Summit in Singapore for our very own Nick Morley Lead for APAC at #ekuenergy. To make a BESS project work for both investors and offtakers, Nick shared his views on revenue stacking options and the expertise we’ve gained from the UK and Australia through our projects. This includes: Merchant agreements 🔋 PPAs 📄 Tolling and more Comparing notes and exchanging ideas with other experts shows that there are great opportunities for large scale batteries to support essential grid services. Watch this space – there is more to come! And in the meantime, we’d be happy to discuss these concepts in more detail – just leave us a note in the comment section.

Through our partnerships and offtake agreements, our customers can access the benefits of batter energy storage without having to manage the development, construction or upfront costs of delivering a battery energy storage systems. Our agreement with Tokyo Gas for the Hirohara Battery Energy Storage System in Japan demonstrates how our partner can accelerate the deployment of a BESS with our global expertise, technology and commercial knowledge.

There are lots of buzzwords surrounding how battery storage assets can be used to support the grid. Hopefully, we've uncovered some facts around this at the Energy Storage Asia Summit. Our thanks to Solar Media Limited for having Nick Morley on your panel. https://lnkd.in/giBmYMRi
Busy day 2 at Energy Storage Summit Asia. We start off with a deep dive into how ‘Using Storage to Enhance the Grid’. Thank you to our moderator Andre E. Susanto of Quantum Power Asia and our esteemed panelists Sankara Subramanian of Saft, Nick Morley of Eku Energy and Ashraf Rahman of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation – SMBC Group
