The Australian state of NSW just turned on an 850MW/1.68GWh battery - it's operating in the NEM now:

Australia has a few gigawatt hour batteries now and a 1GW/4GWh battery has been undergoing planning approval for a few months: https://reneweconomy.com.au/huge-4-gigawatt-hour-battery-aus...

There's so much domestic rooftop solar going to waste that it makes economic sense for these giant batteries to soak it up and sell it at night or during peak events. Love to see it.
