Why now
- A new EPBC Act referral was submitted for a Collie-area solar-plus-storage project
- Goldendale pumped hydro was reported as “greenlit,” moving it a step closer to buildout
Why it matters
- Signals continued pipeline activity for grid-scale storage across multiple technologies
- Highlights permitting/referral milestones that can shape project timelines
- Shows storage development spanning both batteries and pumped hydro
