South Australia has embarked on a bold journey towards a future powered entirely by renewable energy. The construction of the Templers battery, situated 60 km north of Adelaide, marks a significant leap in this direction. This initiative, spearheaded by ZEN Energy in partnership with the South Australian Government, is set to generate over 180 local jobs, underscoring a commitment to bolstering local employment and expertise in the renewable energy sector.
The Templers battery has a capacity of 291 MW/h, it will provide crucial support to the state’s electricity grid, enhancing both storage and stability as South Australia strides toward becoming a global leader in renewable energy and green manufacturing.
ZEN Energy’s growth trajectory, from a national renewable energy retailer to a pivotal player in the renewable infrastructure arena, showcases the transformative power of government support and strategic partnerships. The project’s financing, backed by Stonepeak’s inaugural foray into Australian renewable infrastructure, alongside ZEN’s EPC partners, CPP and Sungrow, and the connectivity provided by ElectraNet, illustrates a collective drive towards a sustainable future.
This project not only represents a milestone in ZEN Energy’s growth but also signifies the potential for renewable energy projects to catalyse economic growth, job creation, and environmental sustainability in South Australia.
