Two green energy projects in the Wheatbelt worth a combined $420 million have been granted development approval.
The regional development assessment panel green-lit a $220m battery at Merredin to be built by Nomad Energy and Atmos Renewables.
The West Australian in January revealed plans for a 400 megawatt-hour battery at the site — about twice the size of Tesla’s Hornsdale Reserve system in South Australia.
The project will help improve power reliability in the eastern part of the State’s main grid.
Nomad managing director Guy Beesley said the partners were pleased with strong backing from the local shire and development panel.
He said the companies were still targeting financial close in the fourth quarter of this year.
“We’re well progressed on the grid connection work with Western Power,” Mr Beesley said.
