July 10th, 2026Australian-First Battery In Gippsland

The SEC’s fourth project, SEC Energy Works near Morwell is a 143-hectare site that will host multiple renewable energy technologies.

These technologies will stabilise the grid and help lower power bills for Victorians.

The first project is the SEC Compressed Air Battery (SEC CAB), a 20-megawatt closed-loop, compressed CO2 battery.

This Australian first technology will be able to hold three times the electricity of a large-scale lithium-ion battery.

It will store cheap renewable electricity generated during the day, and release it back into the grid overnight, putting downward pressure on energy prices.

This battery will be delivered by Energy Dome and will support up to 66 jobs and the region’s transition from coal.

The SEC will continue to add projects to the site, expanding renewable energy and storage in the Latrobe Valley.
