Pine Lodge BESS (PLBESS1) is a 344 MW / 600 MWh grid-scale battery energy storage system in Victoria, tracked live on NEMPulse using AEMO 5-minute dispatch data. This page shows Pine Lodge 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 600 MWh of storage across 344 MW of power, Pine Lodge BESS is a 1.7-hour medium-duration battery — the 2nd-largest of 16 grid-scale batteries in Victoria by registered power, and one of the ten largest in the NEM. 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.
Price and dispatch are measured AEMO values; energy and FCAS revenue are derived from them; FPP revenue and integrated state of charge are estimated. See the provenance scheme on the methodology page.
