Multiple energy storage projects in Australia are seeking EPBC Act approval for a combined capacity of 1.2GWh. Notable projects include Tonic Group's 75MW solar PV and battery system, Avenis Energy's 120MW/480MWh Sunshine Estate BESS, and AGL's 150MW/300MWh facility, with construction expected to take around 12 months and operational lifespans of approximately 20 years. The developments will impact local wildlife habitats, prompting proposed mitigation measures.
