Gratitude to the Gingin Community for the Warm Welcome, Community Drop-in Sessions

BLT Energy hosted two community drop-in sessions on Thursday 30th April and Friday 1st May at the Granville Civic Centre in the town of Gingin to share information about our Red Gully BESS project.

It was great to see a solid turnout across the two days, and we appreciated the opportunity to meet more people in the local community, answering their queries and being able to introduce our founding team to them in person.

We engaged in a range of thoughtful discussions with attendees, including energy market, planning and construction aspects of our project, along with community needs and potential job / business opportunities for local businesses going forward.

We thank all who attended. We understand the majority have travelled a long distance and took time out of their busy days to share their feedback, and we will take them on board as we continue our development process. A big thank you to the local businesses and Shire officers who helped organise the event with us and ensured that we ran the event smoothly.

There will be more opportunities to engage, and we will keep the community informed on our future local events.

If you have any questions or would like more information, we encourage you to email us at redgullybess@blt-energy.com.

Yued Heritage Protection Agreement signed

We are pleased to announce that BLT Energy has signed the Yued Heritage Protection Agreement (“YHPA”) with the Yued Aboriginal Corporation (“YAC”) for the development of our Red Gully BESS.

BLT Energy Founder and CEO Francis Ip said: “We believe the signing of the YHPA is the beginning of our relationship with the Yued people.

The majority of our founding team grew up in Perth, and we have set it as a mission for us to develop our renewable projects in a respectful manner, by carefully considering the impact they may have to local people and their culture.

We look forward to working with the team at YAC to ensure we minimise and properly address any potential cultural heritage impact as we continue our development process for the Red Gully BESS.”

In addition to following the protocol as prescribed in the YHPA, BLT Energy will also continue to work with YAC with the aim to develop a meaningful benefit sharing program including contracting and employment opportunities for Yued people.

Introducing Red Gully BESS

We are pleased to introduce Red Gully BESS, our proposed Battery Energy Storage System located in the Shire of Gingin. The Project will support Western Australia’s transition to a cleaner, more reliable energy future by storing electricity and delivering it when it is needed most. In doing so, it will strengthen grid stability, ease peak network demand, and enable greater integration of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind.

The Project is under development with a total capacity of 800MW / 4,800MWh and will be delivered in phases. Phase 1 will provide 400MW / 2,400MWh of storage capacity. Uniquely located next to Western Power’s Regans Terminal which is due for completion in 2027, the Project will strongly complement the State of Western Australia’s Clean Energy Link – North transmission network upgrade program.

We are targeting commissioning in 2028/2029. Once operational, Red Gully BESS will play an important role in strengthening grid reliability as state-owned coal-fired power stations are scheduled to retire by 2030, while also supporting Western Australia’s decarbonisation objectives.

Over the past two years, we have engaged with targeted stakeholders and are extending engagement to the wider community to share information, listen to feedback and inform ongoing project development.
