Since the state suffered a power outage in a storm last year, power generation has been scrambling to find a way to support its fragile grid.

The battery farm is part of the $0. 55 billion ($0. 42 billion) plan announced by Weatherill, which aims to make the state independent of the State Grid.
The cost of the battery has not been disclosed.
Australian grid operators have warned of a possible shortage of natural gas
By late next year, electricity will be available in southeast Australia.
As Australia is expected to soon replace Qatar as the world's largest exporter of liquefied natural gas, the shortage is imminent.
Australia is also a major exporter of coal, and most of its electricity generation is burning, making the country one of the world's worst greenhouse gas pollution countries per capita.
