Here comes the world’s biggest virtual power plant
Japan takes leap ahead of rest of the world, with help from California’s Autogrid, to develop what’s described as the largest behind-the-meter virtual power plant.
New rooftop solar, battery connection standards: What do they mean? Who needs to know?
New standards guiding rooftop solar and battery storage installs across the NEM have been released by the ENA. But are they good, bad or indifferent for consumers and industry? And what will they actually do? We ask the ENA and the CEC for some answers.
Making the case for 10-year renewable electricity tariffs
For a fair, efficient, low-cost pathway to 100% renewables, we need to put front-of-meter renewables on a level footing with rooftop renewables and enable customers to sign 10-year front-of-meter PPAs.
Canberra switches on its own Big Battery – 1MW of household variety demand response
One day before the world’s largest lithium-ion array is formally “switched on” by Tesla in SA, Reposit Power and ActewAGL have flicked the switch on Canberra’s own big battery – of the virtual variety: 1MW of home battery systems that will not only help balance the grid – starting this afternoon – but deliver savings to consumers at nine times the solar FiT.
Is public uncertainty holding back Australia’s home battery boom?
Australians love the idea of battery storage, in much the same spirit with which they embraced rooftop solar – as a means to cut electricity bills, gain control over their own power, help save the environment, and/or stick it to the man. But a new report has shown that they don’t quite get it… yet.
"Nuts" electricity market drives new rooftop solar boom – with side of battery storage
An electricity market “about as bad as you can get” has helped put household solar – and storage – back in the spotlight of Australia’s renewables shift, prompting forecasts of “massive growth.”
Proof we can chew gum, share solar and cut costs at the same time
A heritage listed former chewing gum factory turned apartment complex will use solar PV and behind the meter technology to supply residents with power up to 20% cheaper than retail market.
