Coburg location and timeline

As part of Jemena’s community battery roll out, a battery will be installed in Coburg, Victoria. The battery will be located on Hudson St, Coburg (near the corner of Victoria St). It will be connected to the electricity grid and will service a local network area. It will help future-proof the grid and support the transition to renewable energy.


A number of factors were considered when choosing the location on Hudson St, Coburg including electricity network constraints in the area, safety, environmental factors, and projected growth of solar installations.

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

Community 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.
