*Pilot terms and conditions apply to all pilots.
Across WA, there are more rooftop solar systems and solar batteries than ever before. These are known as distributed energy resources. A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) involves aggregating these distributed energy resources and then dispatching electricity based on demand, in the same way as a traditional power plant.
VPPs could play a major role in WA’s future. In conjunction with the State Government, we are transforming a number of WA schools into smart and flexible VPPs. Along the way, we’ll be providing opportunities for schools to become more energy efficient and explore new opportunities in renewable energy education.
Our community battery storage trials include our Alkimos Beach Energy Storage Trial and PowerBank pilot. The locations of these trials were selected based on areas where there were high number of customers with rooftop solar systems to test the electricity storage and discharge capabilities of community batteries. We’re using the insights from these trials to learn more about our customers’ behaviours and needs, which helps us to provide options for our customers and a more sustainable energy supply.
