Scheduled for completion in 2025, Mornington BESS is a utility-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) located in Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula.
The battery system will store approximately 480MWh of electricity, which will power more than 40,000 homes.
Engagement with the local community is an important value of Valent Energy and is integral to this project. We would like to ensure that open dialogue and information transfer can occur with local residents, stakeholders and the wider community in an easy and efficient manner.
We would like to ensure that there is no “surprise” to the community and that a long-term relationship is maintained between the project team and all project stakeholders.
