HOME / Ampyr Buys Shell''s Stake In Australia Battery Energy Storage - GPE Utility Storage
South Australia Flinders University researchers, in collaboration with Griffith University, have published findings into the potential of aqueous zinc-ion batteries as a more sustainable energy storage technology alternative to lithium-ion batteries.
[PDF Version]Researchers from UNSW have developed a cutting-edge and scalable solution to overcome the rechargeability challenges of aqueous rechargeable zinc battery (AZB) technology. The innovation can potentially redefine energy storage for homes and grids, emphasising safety, cost-effectiveness, extended life cycle, and robust power capability.
Horizon Power, Western Australia's regional energy provider, will install and trial Redflow's zinc bromine flow battery (100 kW / 400 kWh) and BASF's sodium sulphur battery (250 kW / 1,450 kWh) on Western Australian microgrids in Nullagine and Carnarvon, respectively.
The project aims to prove the technical viability of zinc bromine and sodium sulfur batteries in remote microgrids and is driven by a need to find new sources of medium- and long-duration dispatchable renewable energy storage in the Western Australia.
A battery manufacturing facility capable of producing two megawatt-hours a year of Australia made “safe and durable” gel-based zinc bromide batteries has been launched in Western Sydney.
The current climate Australia's current storage capacity is 3GW, this is inclusive of batteries, VPPs and pumped hydro. Current forecasts by AEMO show Australia will need at least 22GW by 2030 – a more than 700 per cent increase in capacity in the next six years.
The use of the high-capacity metallic zinc anode gives AZBs an energy density boost, and its safe chemistry means it is potentially fully recyclable. Ambient manufacturing is another significant advantage. The UNSW team continues to work on developing the zinc anode, cathode, and cell components toward developing battery cell prototypes.
Starting from 1 July 2025, this federal initiative offers generous rebates for solar battery installation in Sydney and across Australia, making it more affordable for homeowners, small businesses, and community facilities to invest in energy storage solutions.
[PDF Version]The subsidy potentially saves households thousands on installation costs, making the return on investment period substantially shorter. For Australian households, the recommended battery capacity range falls between 5-15 kWh, depending on household size, energy consumption patterns, and existing solar system capacity.
Home battery subsidies will contribute to domestic demand for these minerals, potentially accelerating investment in local processing and manufacturing. This could help Australia capture more value from its natural resources rather than simply exporting raw materials.
The financial benefits of installing a subsidized battery system are substantial. Households with combined solar and battery systems can achieve up to 90% reduction in their energy bills, representing significant annual savings.
Currently, there are 77 different solar battery models available on the Australian market that qualify for the subsidy. This variety ensures consumers have multiple options to select a system that best suits their specific energy needs, home configuration, and budget considerations.
Beyond individual household savings, the widespread adoption of home batteries is projected to deliver $1.3 billion in reduced wholesale electricity costs for all Australians by 2030. This occurs because batteries reduce peak demand on the grid, which typically drives the highest wholesale electricity prices.
For households without existing solar, installing both solar panels and a battery system can save up to $2,300 annually on electricity costs. For the millions of Australians who already have solar panels installed, adding a battery can provide additional savings of approximately $1,100 per year.

A 12V battery typically has a capacity of around 20-40 Ah (amp hours). This means that it can provide 1 A (ampere) of current for up to 40 hours or 2 A for up to 20 hours.
In energy terms, battery capacity is also linked to voltage. To determine the energy stored, measured in watt-hours (Wh), the formula is: Energy (Wh) = Capacity (Ah) × Voltage (V) So a 12V battery with a 100 Ah capacity can theoretically provide 12 V × 100 Ah = 1200 Wh or 1.2 kWh. This last formula is used in our Battery Capacity Calculator.
Energy (Wh) = Capacity (Ah) × Voltage (V) So a 12V battery with a 100 Ah capacity can theoretically provide 12 V × 100 Ah = 1200 Wh or 1.2 kWh. This last formula is used in our Battery Capacity Calculator. Battery capacity is essential in determining how long a battery can power a device or system.
Generally speaking, the capacity of a 12V battery is measured in amp hours (Ah). This rating tells you how much current the battery can deliver over a set period of time. For example, a 12V battery with a 20 Ah rating can deliver 1 A of current for 20 hours, or 2 A of current for 10 hours before it needs to be recharged.
E =V ×Q E = V × Q Where: Q Q is the battery's capacity, measured in Ampere-Hours (Ah). Now, let's assume we have a 12V battery and we know it stores 26.4Wh of energy. To find the battery's capacity (Ah), we can substitute the known values into the formula and solve for Q Q: Q = E V = 26.4 Wh 12 V = 2.2 Ah Q = E V = 26.4 Wh 12 V = 2.2 Ah
Amp hour (Ah) ratings are crucial for understanding how long a 12 volt battery can power a device. A higher Ah rating indicates a battery can deliver more current over time, making it essential for applications like electric vehicles, solar systems, and backup power supplies.
To determine a battery's Ampere-Hour (Ah) capacity, we first need to know its voltage (V) and the energy it stores (Wh, Watt-Hours). The relationship between a battery's stored energy, its voltage, and its capacity can be expressed using the following formula: E =V ×Q E = V × Q Where: Q Q is the battery's capacity, measured in Ampere-Hours (Ah).
