Tungkillo Energy Storage

A new energy storage project in Australia

Acknowledgement of Country

In planning for Australia's clean energy future, RES acknowledges its rich history. We pay our respects to the Peramangk people, the Traditional Custodians of the Country on which the Tungkillo Energy Storage Project is proposed. We recognise their ongoing connection to land and waterways, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. 

The Project

RES is proposing to develop the Tungkillo Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Project 40 km east of Adelaide and 8.5 km east of Mount Torrens in South Australia.

RES has now received planning approval from the State Planning Commission in December 2024. 

If developed, Tungkillo BESS will deliver significant local benefits through local employment and procurement opportunities and tailored community benefit sharing programs.
