Tomago Battery

About the project

AGL Energy is proposing to build, operate and maintain a battery of approximately 500 megawatts (MW) and up to 2,000 megawatt-hour (MWh) capacity at Tomago in NSW.

The location for the proposed battery is between the Pacific Hwy and Old Punt Rd in Tomago Industrial Estate.

The battery has the potential to improve the reliability of the grid by storing power for use when energy demand exceeds generation.

AGL expects the battery to provide socioeconomic outcomes including the potential benefits relating to increased employment opportunities. The project would provide up to 200 jobs during the construction phase and up to 6 full time jobs during operation.

Community and stakeholder feedback

AGL is engaging with the local community, State and Federal government, Port Stephens Council, Worimi Local Aboriginal Land Council and residents and business owners in the region about the Project. We want to collect feedback about throughout the planning process to address any issues or concerns.

The Tomago Battery project has received planning approval from the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure. To view all project documents, visit the project page on the NSW Planning Portal.
