Western Power is proud to be a part of Western Australia’s first-ever battery rebate scheme, ensuring many thousands of households can store the renewable power they generate at home, receive financial support and help secure the State’s clean energy future. The program will see around 100,000 households benefit from the State Government $337 million WA Household Battery Rebate and the $2.3 billion Federal Government Cheaper Homes Batteries program.
Batteries installed through these programs will help play a vital role in securing WA’s energy future and transforming WA’s main electricity network. It also provides homes the ability to add value to their Distributed Energy Resources (DER), such as rooftop solar and batteries, by becoming part of a Virtual Power Plant.
VPPs will continue to play an increasing role in future-proofing the network and helping to decarbonise WA .
