A pilot plan to establish back-up batteries across Canberra government-owned properties will begin at the end of next month, with tenders called for installations across 14 of the most appropriate sites.
Two tenders were released on Thursday, one to supply the construction machinery and "power generation and distribution machinery" for four batteries of up to 450 kilowatt hours (kWh) storage and another to supply 10 smaller sites, each of less than 60 kWh storage.
