Hanworth BidCo's 4.8GWh battery storage project in New South Wales has an estimated investment of AU$1.9 billion, with construction expected to take 32 months and operational life projected at 25 years starting January 2028. The ecological assessment identified 57 threatened species within 10km, notably the vulnerable Diamond Firetail and the endangered Large-eared Pied Bat.
In Nova Scotia, environmental approval has been granted for the 1,264 MW Ocean Lake Wind Project, targeting construction start in 2029 and creating 400-500 jobs. Additionally, Sonnedix secured €730 million for renewable projects in Europe, while RWE began operations at Australia's first 8-hour, 400 MWh battery system. The rapid expansion of these projects underscores the necessity for streamlined regulatory processes to support the renewable energy sector.
