Cordering BESS Project
(Fegytek + EKU Energy Partnership)
The Cordering Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is a large-scale utility battery project being jointly developed by Fegytek and EKU Energy in the Shire of West Arthur, Western Australia.
Fegytek identified the site opportunity for the Cordering BESS in November 2025, and subsequently partnered with EKU Energy to advance the project through planning, approvals, engineering and delivery.
The project is proposed on land supported by the landowner, with land tenure negotiations currently underway, and early engagement with key stakeholders progressing positively.
Once operational, the battery will significantly enhance renewable energy integration across Western Australia. It will store affordable energy generated when the sun is shining and the wind is blowing, and release it during periods of high demand — improving reliability, system stability, and energy security.

Project Timeline (Indicative – WA Development Pathway)
The concept for the Cordering BESS was first developed in late 2025.
The expected milestones (subject to approvals and studies) follow the standard WA battery development process:
Project Lodgement → Development Approval → Final Assessment → Construction Start → Commissioning → Energised
Community & Local Benefits
Local engagement will remain a key pillar of the Cordering BESS development.
Although the physical footprint is modest, the project is expected to generate benefits for the Shire of West Arthur, including:
demand for accommodation and services during construction
increased activity for local suppliers and contractors
potential local employment opportunities
training and technical involvement opportunities
long-term contribution to WA’s clean energy transition
Further community consultation will continue as the project progresses through planning and approvals.
