Overview
Collie Battery is Neoen’s first 4-hour long duration battery & its first major project in Western Australia. The project has development approval for 1 GW / 4 GWh.
Collie Battery is currently being built in stages, two of which are currently under construction:
- Stage 1 is sized at 219 MW / 877 MWh
- Stage 2 is sized at 341 MW / 1,363 MWh
Once operational, Collie Battery will be able to provide short duration storage in peak times to ease pressure on the grid. It will have the ability to charge and discharge 20% of the average demand in Western Australia’s South-West Interconnected System (SWIS).
Battery
Battery storage allows us to store the energy and discharge it into the grid whenever it’s needed.

It will connect into Western Power’s new Palmer Terminal substation in the SWIS.
Benefits
For western Australia
More renewables, reliable power, has the capacity to lower energy costs
News
Shire of Collie representative Councillor Ian Miffling said the DA proposal was supported by the shire – “It’s been very well presented to the council and the community — there has been a good process.”
Get Involved
Neoen has been contributing to Australia’s energy transition with 100% renewable energy since 2012.
With a balanced portfolio of wind, solar and big battery projects, we are aiming to achieve 10 GW by 2030. We own and operate all of the projects we build (rather than developing them to be sold) and as long-term neighbours we are committed to sharing the benefits with surrounding communities.
This dedication to community and environment has made us a renewable energy developer of choice in Australia.
