Torrens Island BESS (TIB1)

Torrens Island BESS (TIB1) is a 250 MW / 250 MWh grid-scale battery energy storage system in South Australia, tracked live on NEMPulse using AEMO 5-minute dispatch data. This page shows Torrens Island 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 250 MWh of storage across 250 MW of power, Torrens Island BESS is a 1.0-hour short-duration battery — the 2nd-largest of 17 grid-scale batteries in South Australia 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 $49k; capturing 8.5% of optimal dispatch value.
