CHANDLER, Ariz., July 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- NovaSource Power Services ("NovaSource"), the world's largest solar operations and maintenance ("O&M") provider, has been selected by Equis as the long-term O&M partner for the Melbourne Renewable Energy Hub ("MREH"), a groundbreaking project set to become one of Australia's largest batteries and a key driver of the nation's clean energy transition.

MREH is uniquely positioned at the intersection of Victoria's critical transmission corridors and capable of supporting three major Renewable Energy Zones: Murray River, Western Victoria, and South Victoria. Developed in partnership between the Victorian government owned SEC, and Equis, when it comes online in late 2025, the project will provide 600 megawatts of capacity and 1.6 gigawatt hours of storage.

Upon completion, MREH will rank among the world's largest batteries with its 1.6 GWh total capacity. More than just an infrastructure project, MREH represents a key investment in Victoria's clean energy future, directly supporting the state's 2035 target of 95% renewable energy generation while setting new benchmarks for large-scale energy storage technology. 

"Being chosen by Equis to support this transformative project reflects NovaSource's global leadership in asset optimization and utility-scale O&M," said Irfan Bharde, SVP & Chief Commercial Officer at NovaSource Power Services.

Ayssar Alsayed, NovaSource's Country Manager in Australia, added, "We're proud to bring our expertise in performance engineering, predictive analytics, and system maintenance to ensure the MREH delivers lasting value for Australia's energy future."

Under the agreement, NovaSource will provide comprehensive O&M services, including 24/7/365 performance monitoring, predictive maintenance, and specialized support for energy systems. These solutions will maximize system uptime, energy yield, and long-term asset performance for the MREH.

This partnership further expands NovaSource's growing footprint in APAC, reinforcing its role in advancing the region's renewable energy landscape.
