The Bouldercombe Battery Project (BBP) located in Rockhampton, is now operational and is Genex’s first large-scale battery energy storage project of 50MW/100MWh’s.
Genex has signed a Connection Agreement with Powerlink enabling BBP to connect into the adjacent 275kV/132kV Bouldercombe substation, via an exiting 132kV bay. BBP is located at critical part of the Queensland electricity grid with high network strength and Marginal Loss Factors.
BBP is built using the Tesla Megapack 2.0 hardware and will operate under the Tesla Autobidder software.
The Project operates on an arbitrage/FCAS revenue model with the ability to bid into all eight existing FCAS markets, and to participate in future markets for inertia and fast frequency response which are currently under development.
The project is in full commercial operations from 2H CY2023.
