## Project summary

Clements Gap Battery, also referred to as Clements Gap BESS, is a 60 MW / 120 MWh battery energy storage project beside the Clements Gap Wind Farm in South Australia’s mid-north, about 20 km northeast of Port Broughton. Pacific Blue’s December 2025 update reported first energisation on 9 December 2025, major construction works complete, and the project entering commissioning. That update described staged commissioning and looked toward full operation and completion in 2026; the page timeline lists Q1 2026 for commissioning and commencement of operations as targets, not confirmed achievements.

## Evidence limits and unknowns

- The supplied page does not confirm that full operations have commenced or that project completion has been achieved. Its December 2025 update describes staged commissioning and prospective 2026 completion; the timeline lists Q1 2026 milestones.
- The supplied page material does not identify a current open procurement package or supplier opportunity. Its timeline notes that an EPC contractor was nominated and lists commissioning and operations milestones for Q1 2026.

Current purchasing availability: unknown.
Source-dated plans do not establish current progress or available supplier packages.
