The location at Pitcher Park was selected in consultation with Darebin City Council. A number of factors were considered when choosing the location including electricity network constraints in the area, safety, environmental factors, and projected growth of solar installations.

The community battery is approximately 4.6m long and 1.5m deep. The battery has around 400kWh of storage which is the same amount of energy used by around 165 homes for two hours at night.

Neighbourhood batteries meet international and national safety standards. Jemena will work with our partners to deliver and maintain the batteries under the same unconditional commitment to safety as we do for any of our network assets.
