| Project Detail |
The Project is deploying 10 behind-the-meter batteries at a mix of 8 existing and greenfield over-50s communities across regional Queensland, NSW and Victoria. Need Community batteries are a promising solution to enable the storage of distributed renewable energy for later use, reduce distribution network constraints, and put downward pressure on electricity prices. The October 2022 Federal Budget provided $171 million for ARENA to deliver the Community Batteries for Household Solar Budget Measure (Budget Measure) to deploy 342 community batteries across Australia. |
