South Hummocks Renewable Energy Park

The Challenge

A hybrid project is more complex than placing solar and batteries on the same site. Solar capacity, battery duration, grid import/export capability, charging strategy, land use and planning requirements all influence one another, so the project must be optimised as one integrated energy system.

OnyX’s Role

• Originated the opportunity and led development strategy across land, grid, technology and commercial optimisation.
• Assessed network capacity, import/export constraints, solar and storage sizing, dispatch strategy and solar-to-battery charging interaction.
• Used the four-hour BESS to create dispatch flexibility and additional energy and system-service revenue opportunities.
• Managed adjoining-land strategy and an iterative development process so capacity and layout can be refined as network and commercial information improves.

Development Outcome

South Hummocks demonstrates OnyX’s ability to shape multi-technology infrastructure where generation, storage, land and network capacity operate as one system. The project is progressing toward a technically feasible, commercially optimised and investment-ready hybrid renewable energy asset.
