Brendale BESS (BRNDBES1)

Brendale BESS (BRNDBES1) is a 215 MW / 410 MWh grid-scale battery energy storage system in Queensland, tracked live on NEMPulse using AEMO 5-minute dispatch data. This page shows Brendale BESS's energy arbitrage and FCAS revenue, state of charge, dispatch profile, bidding behaviour, and actual-vs-optimal performance in the Australian National Electricity Market (NEM).

With 410 MWh of storage across 215 MW of power, Brendale BESS is a 1.9-hour medium-duration battery — the 11th-largest of 17 grid-scale batteries in Queensland by registered power. Duration sets how long it can sustain full output, and with it how much of the daily price spread it can arbitrage before running flat.

As of 6 July 2026: estimated gross energy + FCAS market revenue month-to-date $108k; capturing 53.8% of optimal dispatch value.
