Australian Hospital Energy Storage Project
📌

How much energy does a hospital use in Australia?

Total Australian public hospital energy use was stable for the three years (/17 to /19) (Table 1 available in PDF). Renewable energy production/purchase increased from 14/ 4,132 GWh to 94/ 4,122 GWh (from 0.3% to 2.3% of power consumed). Australian renewable grid electricity uptake grew by 8.3% (from 15.7% in /17 to 24% in /19).

📌

How can renewable storage technology transform Australia?

Renewable storage technologies have the potential to revolutionise clean and reliable energy access in remote communities, support cost-effective decarbonisation in industry and transform Australia into a green hydrogen export superpower.

📌

Which Australian public hospitals use the most energy?

Victoria and New South Wales combined consumed 60% of total Australian public hospital energy (1,288 and 1,206 of 4,122 GWh respectively, /19). Queensland public hospitals consumed 778/4,122 GWh [19% of total energy] and produced/purchased the most renewable electricity (74/778 GWh [9.5%]) of all state public hospitals in /19.

📌

What is Australia's energy storage capacity?

Australia had 2,325MW of capacity in and this is expected to rise to 22,076MW by . Listed below are the five largest energy storage projects by capacity in Australia, according to GlobalData’s power database. GlobalData uses proprietary data and analytics to provide a complete picture of the global energy storage segment.

📌

How many public hospitals are in Australia?

There were 693 public hospitals in Australia in /19 (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare data) (8). We sought data from two sources: Australian State/Territory Health Departments, and the Australian Clean Energy Regulator (responsible for National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER)).

📌

Can pumped hydro energy storage meet Australia's storage requirements?

While pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) is currently the leading bulk storage technology, there are several characteristics that may limit its ability to be quickly deployed to meet Australia’ storage requirements. These include topography constraints, the development costs and environmental impacts.
