Victoria’s state-owned SEC has signed a ten-year offtake agreement covering Glenrowan Solar Farm and a planned 102 MW, four-hour battery, replacing its existing solar offtake arrangement.
Announced on 2 November, the deal gives SEC access to storage alongside the 102 MW solar farm in north-east Victoria. Construction of the battery is expected to follow financial close; the announcement does not establish that building work has started.
The agreement is intended to shift solar electricity into periods of higher demand. SEC says that will strengthen supply to its government, commercial and industrial customers, although its statement does not quantify customer savings.
Pacific Partnerships describes the battery as its first large-scale addition of storage to an existing solar project. It says Glenrowan’s solar operations began in May 2024. No battery commissioning date or numerical jobs commitment was disclosed.
