Massive battery proposed for historic ACT sheep farm

A massive battery has been proposed for a historic ACT sheep farm that once welcomed an American president.

Queensland energy transition company Quinbrook has made an application to build a 520-megawatt battery system on Uriarra Station, about 30 kilometres north-west of Canberra's centre.

The Flat Rock Energy Storage project is proposed for the 1194-hectare farm at 2028 Uriarra Road, Coree, one of the region's most successful sheep and cattle properties with the capacity to run about 7000 sheep.
