The second phase of the Supernode energy storage project in Australia is now live. Developer Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners also closed AUD 469 million in financing for Phase 3. With Phase 1 and 2 already delivering 520 MW and 1858 MWh combined, total capacity will pass 3 GWh once Phase 3 finishes. That makes it the largest operational battery storage system in Australia's National Electricity Market.
CATL supplies the energy storage system for every phase of Supernode. The company's technical setup and long term service agreement helped de risk the asset and make the financing work.
Phase 3 runs exclusively on CATL's Tener energy storage system. Both sides also plan to work together on 8 hour long duration energy storage solutions going forward.
CATL set up a standardized technical platform on site. That removes hardware and software compatibility risks between different construction phases and keeps everything running the same way.
A comprehensive Long Term Service Agreement covers condition monitoring, performance tracking, and preventive maintenance for the whole operational life of the asset.
