Planning approval has been given for the Waratah Super Battery, which is being developed in Australia to help fill the gap in energy supply from a retiring coal power plant.
The government of New South Wales (NSW) said this morning that it had granted planning approval to the project, which will help the state overcome the 2025 decommissioning of Eraring, a 2,880MW coal power plant.
Scheduled to come online that same year, the NSW government has awarded the project the status of Critically Significant Infrastructure, fast-tracking its development.
