New battery storage in Moreton Bay
The City of Moreton Bay celebrated the activation of a new Tesla Megapack battery at the Bunya Waste Management Facility, marking a significant step towards sustainable energy.
Mayor Peter Flannery said no other Council in Queensland is using this technology to store and dispatch renewable energy created from landfill biogas, thanks to a partnership with leading green energy provider LGI Limited.
Council will use landfill biogas to generate renewable energy, aiding its goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2039.
Since 2010, this collaboration has prevented 124 million cubic metres of methane gas emissions.
The new battery, coupled with LGI’s technology, will ensure stable energy is supplied during peak hours for up to 10,000 homes annually.
