Aurora Energy Precinct

The Aurora Energy Precinct is a large-scale, master-planned energy and industrial precinct near Port Augusta in South Australia, being progressed by 1414 Degrees.

Anchored by an approved 140MW / 280MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), Aurora represents a rare, development-ready opportunity to deliver new grid-scale energy infrastructure in one of Australia’s leading renewable energy regions.

The precinct comprises approximately 16 km² of Crown lease land, strategically positioned to support large energy users requiring reliable, low-carbon electricity at scale.

The first stage of the Aurora Energy Precinct is a 140MW / 280MWh Battery Energy Storage System, which has:

• Received development approval
• Completed key AEMO technical requirements
• Progressed through grid connection and transmission engagement
• Advanced to commercial negotiation stages

This positions the BESS as a near-term, delivery-ready infrastructure asset forming the foundation of the broader precinct.

Aurora has been master-planned to support a range of large-scale, electricity-intensive industries requiring secure and reliable power supply.

Potential uses include:

• AI and hyperscale data centres
• Utility-scale battery energy storage
• Renewable-powered industrial facilities
• Advanced manufacturing
• Long duration energy storage
• Future hydrogen and clean fuels development

The precinct structure enables multiple developments to operate within a single integrated energy and infrastructure hub.

Located in South Australia’s Upper Spencer Gulf Renewable Energy Zone, Aurora benefits from strong existing and developing infrastructure advantages, including:

• Proximity to high-voltage transmission networks
• Access to road, rail and port infrastructure
• Fibre connectivity suitable for digital infrastructure
• Location within a leading renewable energy zone
• Large contiguous Crown lease holding with expansion capacity

These attributes make Aurora highly suited to projects requiring both significant power supply and long-term scalability.

Aurora has been designed to respond to structural changes in electricity demand driven by electrification, renewable energy integration and the rapid growth of digital infrastructure.

In particular, the precinct is positioned to support the emerging requirements of AI-driven data centres and other high-energy industries seeking large-scale, reliable and low-carbon power solutions.

While the approved BESS forms the first stage of development, Aurora is structured as a long-term energy and industrial precinct.

This enables staged expansion and the co-location of complementary industries, supporting sustained growth as Australia’s energy system evolves.

Aurora Energy Precinct continues to progress as commercial engagement and development activity advances.
