A $23 million project will deliver
. . . Tesla Powerwall 2 home batteries to up to
. . . 1200 Adelaide households representing
. . . 6 MW of residential energy storage. A further
. . . 2 MW of demand response capacity will be deployed across
. . . 10 commercial businesses.
The virtual power plant is expected to be up, and running,
. . . by the end of 2019.
Individual customers will benefit from reduced power costs,
. . . as they are able to increase the amount of
. . . rooftop solar power they consume,
. . . by storing the solar-generated energy, and
. . . using it later when they would otherwise be consuming power from the grid.
The battery systems are also able to provide
. . . backup power in the event of an outage.
