A consortium led by Enwave Australia is developing Australia's first industrial renewable energy micro-grid in a new 120-hectare business park in Nambeelup, Western Australia.

                                         

The project is expected to create thousands of jobs and reduce the park's electricity price by 30 percent, but the capacity of the solar and storage systems has not been disclosed.
