Muchea Battery is Neoen’s first 6-hour long-duration storage asset and will be equipped to support the State’s energy reliability and transition to renewables. UGL has been contracted to help prepare the site for the installation and connection of 252 Tesla Megapack 2XL units and to design and construct a 132kV substation, including the installation of high-voltage infrastructure, control and switchroom facilities, earthworks and footings. Following installation, UGL will provide testing and commissioning support.

This project comes immediately after UGL’s successful delivery of Neoen’s 341 MW / 1,363 MWh Collie Battery 2, also located in Western Australia. Collie Battery 2 commenced operations – four months ahead of schedule.
