Testing and Commissioning

In just a few months, we will launch the first community microgrid of its kind in NSW. The microgrid at Bawley Point and Kioloa will provide a reliable, stand-alone and renewable electricity supply to around 1,500 residents.

When it's operational, the microgrid will act as a self-contained energy system, harnessing electricity from renewable sources like rooftop solar, home-based batteries and a 3MW grid-connected battery, strategically positioned between Bawley Point and Kioloa. This configuration will empower the microgrid to operate autonomously during outages, forming an island of power for the community.

To ensure everything is operating as it should, we will be conducting a series of tests over the next month. For more information please read the Testing and Commissioning FAQ.
