Approbation de la connexion du Hopeland BESS au marché électrique australien
AEMO approuve le projet Hopeland BESS : une avancée majeure pour l'énergie renouvelable en Australie ! Après une évaluation rigoureuse, Powerlink obtient l'autorisation de connecter ce système de stockage d'énergie au réseau national. En partenariat avec UGL, ce BESS, associé à une ferme solaire, fournira de l'électricité propre à 100 000 foyers, réduisant les émissions de carbone et accélérant la transition vers un avenir durable. Pacific Partnerships marque ainsi son troisième milestone dans ses actifs verts, soulignant l'efficacité d'une équipe collaborative. Un pas décisif pour l'innovation énergétique !
Cimic - 17 Déc 2025
The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) has issued Powerlink a 5.3.4A approval letter for the Hopeland BESS connection to the National Electricity Market (NEM).
This key connection approval follows a rigorous assessment of the asset’s proposed generator performance standards, its network impact, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
It paves the way for the next phase of development at Hopeland BESS, located approximately 290km west of Brisbane.
In partnership with fellow CIMIC Group company UGL, we are moving forward to design, procure, construct, and operate the BESS, which will connect via Powerlink’s 275kV Western Downs substation.
Together, the Hopeland Solar Farm and BESS will generate enough clean energy to power approximately 100,000 average-sized homes, supporting the energy transformation, reducing carbon emissions, and accelerating Australia’s transition to a sustainable future.
Hopeland BESS is Pacific Partnerships’ third large-scale renewable asset to reach this milestone, and one of seven assets either operating or in mid-to-late development stages across Australia.
Achieving this milestone so rapidly underscores the strength, quality, and coordination of the entire project team.
Thank you to all stakeholders for your dedication and collaboration - your efforts have been instrumental in reaching this achievement.
