Overview
Collie Battery is Neoen’s first 4-hour-long battery and its first major project in Western Australia. The project has development approval for 1 GW / 4 GWh.
Collie Battery is currently being built in stages:
- Stage 1, sized at 219 MW / 877 MWh, has been operating since October 2024.
- Stage 2, sized at 341 MW / 1,363 MWh, is currently under construction and expected to start operating later this year
Collie Battery can provide short-term storage in peak times to ease pressure on the grid. It can charge and discharge 20% of the average demand in Western Australia’s South-West Interconnected System (SWIS).
Battery
Battery storage allows us to store the energy and discharge it into the grid whenever it’s needed.

Shire of Collie representative Councillor Ian Miffling said the DA proposal was supported by the shire – “It’s been very well presented to the council and the community — there has been a good process.”
Get Involved
With a balanced portfolio of wind, solar and big battery projects, we are aiming to achieve 10 GW by 2030.
Our goal is to own and operate our projects and as long-term neighbours, we are committed to sharing the benefits with surrounding communities.
This dedication to community and environment has made us a renewable energy developer of choice. We have invested more than $4 billion in the Australian market and developed over 4 GW of renewable energy assets.
