Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners launches an energy storage project in Australia

Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has begun construction of the Summerfield storage system in Australia. With a capacity of 960 MWh, this project aims to strengthen the country's energy infrastructure and address the growing challenges of electricity storage.

Please share:

Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), through its Copenhagen Infrastructure V (CI V) fund, has officially launched the construction of the Summerfield project in Australia. This battery energy storage facility, with a capacity of 240 MW / 960 MWh, is located in South Australia, near existing transmission infrastructure.

A structuring project for the Australian market

The Summerfield project aims to meet the growing energy storage needs of the Australian grid. The facility will play a key role in managing the intermittency of renewable energy by shifting surplus energy generated during the day to peak demand periods. CIP has secured a ten-year power purchase agreement with Origin Energy, a major player in the Australian electricity market.

A strategic investment

The investment in Summerfield is part of CIP’s CI V fund, which aims to raise up to €12 billion to finance energy infrastructure projects worldwide. This Australian project marks a significant milestone for CIP, reinforcing its presence in the Asia-Pacific region.

Energy storage outlook and challenges

The rise of large-scale battery storage is becoming a crucial issue for balancing the Australian electrical grid. The state of South Australia, where the Summerfield project is located, has set ambitious renewable energy targets. This type of project helps stabilize electricity supply and optimize the integration of intermittent energy sources.
