Energy Storage Question Period
Date & Time
Wednesday, May 7, 2025, 9:00 AM - 9:45 AM
Thomas Nann
Description

In this interactive session, miners will ask storage experts their most urgent questions about how these technologies can effectively address the industry's pressing decarbonisation goals. 

  • Could you provide a cross-country snapshot on how energy storage (and hybrids) is helping support load growth and decarbonisation for heavy industry?
  • Where should energy storage investments be prioritized to maximize impact in supporting a decarbonised, electrified future: at the bulk transmission connection level or through behind-the-meter demand response solutions?
  • How does/can energy storage help decarbonise Australian mining operations and what experiences can be learned from other markets including China and North America?
  • Can you provide examples on specific LDES technologies that are ready to be incorporated today, including the challenges related to these technologies?
  • What measures are being implemented to ensure the longevity, reliability, and recycling of batteries used in mining operations, and how do these measures balance with the cost implications?
