Construcciones Yamaro: UGL contracted by Neoen to construct large battery in WA

By

Neoen has contracted CIMIC Group’s UGL to design and construct Stage 1 of Collie Battery, a 219-megawatt/877-megawatt-hour battery energy storage system and associated energy infrastructure, in Western Australia.

UGL will be responsible for the design, construction, testing and commissioning of the 33/330-kilovolt substation. Its scope of works will also include the installation of the Tesla2 XL Megapacks and the associated balance of plant infrastructure, the replacement of an existing bridge and construction of an access track to the site.

CIMIC Executive Chairman Juan Santamaria said battery energy storage systems play a key role in Australia’s net-zero aspirations. “As a leading designer and constructor of electricity generation and storage assets, UGL has delivered 17 major renewables generation and storage projects,” said Santamaria. “We are pleased to apply this experience at the Collie Battery.”

UGL Managing Director Doug Moss said the company’s growth in the Australian renewable energy market continues with the contract with Neoen.

“We are a market leader in the design, construction and commissioning of energy assets across Australia,” Moss added. “The Collie Battery will be UGL’s sixth battery energy storage system project in recent years, and our third for Neoen following the successful design and construction of the Victorian Big Battery and the Western Downs Battery which is currently under construction.”

“We look forward to continuing our relationship with Neoen and Tesla through the Collie Battery project.”

Neoen Australia Chief Executive Officer Louis de Sambucy said Neoen is pleased construction of Stage 1 has commenced and thanked UGL for their hard work.

“This is our third big battery with Tesla and UGL, and we appreciate being able to leverage the experience and trust built across a number of years for our first major project in Western Australia,” said Sambucy.

Neoen’s Collie Battery will provide up to four hours of energy storage and will connect to Western Power’s substation which is part of the South-West Interconnected System.

UGL has commenced work on the project, which is expected to be completed in late 2024.
