Snowtown's Big BESS !!

Energy developer Tilt Renewables proposes to build a big battery next to their Snowtown Wind Farm 1 sub-station, on Wokurna Road, 10 km north-west of Snowtown (past the Heinrich quarry).

Tilt explains the Snowtown BESS will

• improve electricity grid reliability

• store low-cost wind electricity when there is an oversupply

• enable energy export to South Australia when needed

• reduce the frequency of blackouts

• reduce the need for 'load shedding' when supplies are in "imbalance''

The power of Snowtown BESS will be 100MW /400MWH, the same as the Latrobe Valley BESS, and be able to output a maximum of 100 MW for four hours.

The Benefits to Snowtown community will be

• A $60,000 annual community benefit fund

• approximately 100 full-time construction jobs

• increasing the need for local goods and services

• offering a reliable and affordable energy supply
