SYDNEY, July 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fluence Energy, Inc. (“Fluence”) (NASDAQ: FLNC), a global market leader delivering intelligent energy storage, services, and asset optimization software, today announced that the company has been selected by AMPYR Australia (AMPYR) for the 300 MW / 600 MWh Wellington Stage 1 Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Wellington, New South Wales, Australia. AMPYR has contracted Fluence for construction of this project and a 20-year service and maintenance contract. The project will also be powered by Fluence’s Mosaic bidding software and Nispera asset performance management software.

The Wellington Stage 1 BESS is AMPYR’s first grid-scale battery energy storage system to reach financial close in Australia. This project is scheduled to be energised in 2026, signaling a significant step towards bolstering Australia's renewable energy capacity and grid stability.

Wellington Stage 1 will use Fluence’s Gridstack™ grid-scale energy storage product, underpinned by Fluence’s multi-generational technology platform. The system will be optimized by Mosaic, Fluence’s intelligent, AI-powered bidding software, designed to enhance the efficiency and profitability of BESS in the National Electricity Market (NEM) and Nispera, Fluence’s next generation asset performance management software. Mosaic will be used to manage AMPYR’s virtual tolling contract, which will allow AMPYR to nominate when the battery should charge or discharge, to maximize performance.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with AMPYR on the Wellington Stage 1 BESS project, marking another step forward in strengthening Australia’s transition to a more sustainable energy future,” said Jan Teichmann, SVP & President, APAC. “We believe the full suite of Fluence’s innovative storage products and operational services will allow AMPYR to extract the most value out of the Wellington BESS once operational. Fluence has a strong track record of delivering BESS projects in Australia, and our established team is dedicated to ensuring the Wellington BESS will create a more resilient grid for Australia.”

“The Wellington Stage 1 grid-scale battery represents a significant contribution to growing Australia's renewable energy capacity and strengthening its grid stability. Our partnership with Fluence will enable the delivery of competitively priced, reliable renewable energy to major Australian electricity users. This project is a crucial first step in our commitment to delivering 6,000 MWh of operational BESS by 2030, directly addressing the growing need for grid-scale batteries and accelerating Australia's transition to a reliable, affordable, and renewable energy future,” said AMPYR Australia CEO Alex Wonhas.

Fluence has a strong track record in Australia, with four battery energy storage systems currently in operation, another two entering operations in the next few months, and several BESS projects under construction.
