Ann: SA Elizabeth Microgrid, page-29

In all of CCE/EMC's previous projects, the renewable energy generation component has been installed prior to adding battery storage. Why are they installing the BESS first?

I can't see that the SA Government has made this $3 million grant just for the purpose of putting in a smallish battery system, especially since the Holden site is not government owned. I am thinking they have far greater plans in mind.

The creation of a battery hub at the Holden site could be up and running well in advance of a new electric vehicle manufacturing hub. Job opportunities would be available much sooner.
