Tramway Road Battery Energy Storage System
Tramway Road is a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project up to 300MW / 1200 MWh in size in the Latrobe Valley in Gippsland, Victoria. Strategically located with a direct connection to the adjacent Hazelwood Terminal Station, the site will deliver safe, secure and reliable energy to Victorians and support the region’s energy transition.
The project is under development with planning and environmental studies underway. Once in operation, Tramway Road BESS will support the growth of renewable energy in Gippsland, including the future development of offshore wind in Gippsland, while helping Victoria reach its net zero emissions goals.
At Eku, we take community engagement and benefits sharing seriously. We want to ensure that our Williamsdale BESS grants program can support a broad range of initiatives that can deliver long-lasting, positive impacts for surrounding communities.
Through ongoing community engagement, we have co-designed the following Investment Principles to guide the program design. We welcome applications that support or are in-line with the following:
[A] Employment and education: Initiatives that support educational or employment outcomes (e.g. literacy; numeracy; science, technology, engineering and maths).
[B] Social connectedness: Initiatives that support community connectedness, wellbeing and livability.
[C] Environmental: Initiatives that support or drive sustainability and environmental outcomes.
Eku Energy respectfully acknowledge the Gunaikurnai People, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which the Tramway Road BESS will store energy. We pay our respects to elders, past and present. We acknowledge and respect their culture, beliefs, contributions, and spiritual and historic connection with the land.
