differences via in certain cases just a few cycles per year or to build up longer-term reserves, batteries can go through several cycles per day. Thus, the roles of BESS and pumped hydro energy storage are largely complementary, generally operating most economically in the under ten-hour and over ten-hour duration spaces, respectively.

BESS must have a minimum capacity of 10 MW and a 3-hour duration to qualify. However, the proposal for the second round requires a minimum of 30 MW and higher prices for longer-duration assets (6 hours+). Under the program, participants can bid for fixed cost recovery at 5% WACC while also subject to a 90% profit return mechanism.
