Springvale Energy Hub - Our Project
Springvale Energy Hub is a multi-stage energy precinct in south-east Melbourne, featuring energy storage, and emerging energy technologies. Located on a 47-hectare former landfill site, 24 kilometres from the CBD, the project aims to repurpose the site into a key asset supporting Victoria's energy transition. The project unlocks underutilised brownfield land within an urban setting.
The staged development includes battery energy storage systems (BESS), solar PV and electric vehicle charging positioning it as Australia’s first utility-scale renewable precinct on a metropolitan landfill. Stage 1 & 2 contain Battery Energy Storage Systems only.

Development Updates
The project is backed by the Federal Government's Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS), recognising its contribution to Australia's renewable energy transition. The CIS is a Federal Government-backed de-risking mechanism designed to support dispatchable storage projects. To find out more about the CIS, visit Australia's Energy Transition website.
The Springvale project received planning approval in August 2026, removing a major development risk and providing greater certainty for the project’s progression. This enables the project to continue through the remaining development activities, with construction of the initial Stage 1 and Stage 2 currently scheduled to commence in 2027. Stage 1 and Stage 2 represent the first stages of the broader Springvale development, with further stages expected to progress as the project develops.
