STAFF at energy storage developer Hydrostor, part of the soon to be opened Silver City Energy Storage Centre — or SCESC — in Broken Hill, are inviting local enterprises to attend the project’s business and industry engagement sessions in February and March.
Essentially a big battery, the SCESC is set to offer long duration energy storage capacity and eight hours of storage duration at full output once completed.
The project is currently at the approvals phase with backers waiting on the okay to begin construction this year with contractors to undertake the works.
The sessions aim to give local companies an opportunity to register interest in participating in construction of the project.
As part of the events Hydrostor staff will show an overview of the works and contracting and procurement processes, while representatives from the Infrastructure Capability Network and New South Wales Indigenous Chamber of Commerce will be on-hand to discuss issues with the project.
Contract opportunities include earthworks, civil construction, electrical, and more.
Hydrostor’s stakeholder and permitting manager Kath Hawkins said the company was looking forward to engaging with local providers.
“There is no shortage of skill and enthusiasm from Broken Hill and the greater Far West community, and we hope to tap into that to bring this project to life,” she said.
“We want to encourage all local businesses interested in taking part in these in-person and online sessions to register interest for the upcoming sessions to learn more and find out how we can work together.”
