Perenjori is supplied by a 33kV long rural distribution feeder. In recent years, Perenjori customers have experienced lower reliability of supply than most customers within the Western Power’s network. The Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) will alleviate the poor reliability of supply experienced by customers in Perenjori.
