Brandy Hill Battery Energy Storage Substation

Project Details

Client : Milleen Group
Type : Battery Energy Storage System Substation
Date : Oct-Dec 2025
Scope of project:

Supply and installation:

  • Complete inground and aboveground earth grid, crimped connections, connections to fence post and gates
  • 10m deep earth electrodes

The Brandy Hill Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Substation is one of a number of BESS that are being constructed as part of the renewable energy grid which promises to produce and deliver cleaner energy to future generations.

The Challenge:

With a very tight timeframe of just 10 weeks, the project required meticulous coordination between Earthing Solutions and Milleen Group management teams.

Result:

The project was completed on time and on budget.

BESS Explained:

Battery Energy Storage Systems or BESS are large-scale rechargeable battery banks (primarily Lithium-ion) that store electricity generated from renewable sources or the grid, for discharging during outages, periods of peak demand, or to stabilise the grid. BESS are important grid-balancing infrastructure, providing fast-response power to manage peak demand, improve reliability, and facilitate greater renewable integration.
