Hydrostor is a leading developer and operator of long-duration energy storage systems. Hydrostor leverages a proven technology solution for delivering long-duration energy storage to power grids around the world. Hydrostor’s technology uses compressed air and water to store energy. This patented technology allows grid operators and large energy users to draw on clean energy, even when there is no sun to fuel solar panels and no wind to generate energy from turbines.
As Australia modernizes its grid infrastructure and moves towards aggressive carbon emission reductions, it is undergoing one of the most rapid energy transitions in the world.
As part of this transition, Hydrostor’s Silver City Energy Storage Centre in Broken Hill NSW, will eliminate the need for major investments in expensive new transmission lines and ongoing reliance on highly polluting diesel generators.
In December 2023 Silver City was awarded both a Network Service Agreement with Transgrid, and a Long-Term Energy Service Agreement (LTESA) from AEMO Services under the New South Wales government’s electricity infrastructure roadmap, marked significant progress for our Silver City project. The Silver City Energy Storage project will undertake IS Design and As Built Ratings.
