INTEC Energy Solutions (INTEC), a global leader in energy solutions, has announced its role in providing full Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) services for a 640MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Queensland. The project, developed in collaboration with Lightsource bp, a major player in utility-scale renewable energy development, marks one of the largest energy storage projects in the region.
A Landmark Project for Renewable Energy Integration
The Woolooga BESS project, with a total capacity of 640MWh, will feature 128 advanced BESS containers designed to enhance grid stability and efficiency. This project is a significant step towards increasing renewable energy integration in Australia, helping stabilize the grid with reliable energy storage.
INTEC is working alongside Hithium, a leading provider of integrated energy storage solutions, to execute the project. The company will handle full EPC services as well as Operations and Maintenance (O&M) for the plant over a 25-year period, ensuring long-term efficiency and reliability.
Expanding INTEC’s Presence in Australia
INTEC, known for its high-quality solar project delivery across Europe, is expanding its footprint in Australia to meet the country’s growing energy needs. This includes opening a new office and hiring a local workforce to support ongoing and future projects.
Phil Wood, INTEC’s Country Manager, spoke about the partnership: “Through our strong collaboration with Lightsource bp, we aim to deliver exceptional results that support Australia’s renewable energy ambitions. This project reflects our ongoing commitment to providing impactful energy solutions in the region.”
Contributing to Australia’s Renewable Energy Future
Once operational, the Woolooga BESS project will contribute clean, sustainable energy to the Australian grid, playing a key role in reducing the nation’s carbon footprint and facilitating the transition to a renewable energy future.
