Emerging player Frontier Energy has broken ground on a $310 million South West renewables project it says will have the ability to power 50,000 homes. The project just outside Waroona, 120km south of Perth, is expected to be the largest solar and battery hybrid facility connected to WA’s main electricity network. Stage one of the renewable energy project will combine a 132-megawatt solar farm with an 81.5-megawatt battery, capable of storing more than 500 megawatt hours of electricity. The excess energy will then be filtered through the grid during peak usage times, between 4pm and 10pm when the sun has set.
