The disclosure contains a letter of support from three NSW distribution network service providers (Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy, Essential Energy) dated 30 November 2023, addressed to ARENA's CEO regarding collaboration on community battery innovation and ARENA's Community Batteries Funding Round 1. The DNSPs outline their commitment to knowledge sharing on community-scale battery storage, emphasizing benefits including enhanced grid flexibility, increased solar hosting capacity, renewable energy access, improved power quality, and network constraint solutions. The letter describes ongoing collaborative work across NSW DNSPs and with Energy Networks Australia to develop technical specifications and industry frameworks for deploying community batteries at scale across different use cases. The document appears incomplete, with only partial pages of an ARENA full application included. No specific St Marys project details, environmental assessment data, EPBC Act context, or quantified environmental impacts are evident in the released excerpts.
