Tramway Road is a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project up to 300MW / 1200 MWh in size in the Latrobe Valley in Gippsland, Victoria. Strategically located with a direct connection to the adjacent Hazelwood Terminal Station, the site will deliver safe, secure and reliable energy to Victorians and support the region’s energy transition.
The project is under development with planning and environmental studies underway. Once in operation, Tramway Road BESS will support the growth of renewable energy in Gippsland, including the future development of offshore wind in Gippsland, while helping Victoria reach its net zero emissions goals.
At Eku, we take community engagement and benefits sharing seriously. We want to ensure that our Williamsdale BESS grants program has long-lasting, positive impact on the community around Tuggeranong.
We therefore established the following Investment Principles to guide the program and support the following initiatives:
[A] Employment and education: Initiatives that support educational or employment outcomes (e.g. literacy; numeracy; science, technology, engineering and maths).
[B] Social connectedness: Initiatives that support community connectedness, wellbeing and livability.
[C] Environmental: Initiatives that support or drive sustainability and environmental outcomes.
