## Project summary

Goyder Battery is a two-stage battery energy storage project in South Australia’s Mid North, with reported combined capacity of 454 MW / 1,814 MWh. Neoen’s report dated 29 July 2026 describes Stage 1 notices to proceed and the launch of Stage 2, with Tesla as battery storage supplier and UGL as balance-of-plant contractor. It also reports two 15-year capacity-service contracts, each for 75 MW / 8 hours. The report gave August 2026 as the planned start of site works and 2028 as the expected operating start; it does not confirm those milestones were achieved.
