Officially opened in August 2023, TIB became the second-largest battery in Australia at the time of its launch. It was built alongside the existing Barker Inlet Power Station on Torrens Island in the north-western suburbs of Adelaide. TIB compromises 109 Sunny Central Storage 3600 UP-XT battery inverters integrated into fully type-tested MVPS-4200-S2 skids. The system houses 218 battery cabinets housing more than 6,000 battery modules. With enough stored energy capacity to power 75,000 homes in South Australia for a period of one hour, Torrens Island BESS will play an important role in balancing the intermittency of renewables, thus providing stability and reliability to the grid.
