A Domino’s Pizza franchise in the western Sydney suburb of Plumpton,
. . . hit a snag when it discovered its electricity load requirement,
. . . outweighed the capability of the current network.

After much consultation and consideration,
. . . the decision was made to install,
. . . Tesla Powerwall batteries, that will be,
. . . 1/2 the the cost of the grid upgrade.

The system works by storing power from the grid overnight,
. . . when prices are cheaper, and the store is closed, and
. . . using this stored power to cook pizzas during the day.

“(Adding battery storage) is a solution where the savings are immediate,
. . . because the alternative,
. . . upgrading network connection, and local grid infrastructure,
. . . is far more expensive.”

And it’s not a bad solution for the network, either,
. . . to have local businesses shifting load from peak,
. . . to off-peak times,
