How this battery system can help the energy transition
The electricity grid is long on solar power and short on storage. This first of a kind battery service could be the solution.
Ausgrid has big plans for community batteries across its network. With 10 smaller community batteries already in place and eight larger battery installations in the works, the largest electricity distributor on Australia’s east coast is rapidly moving into energy storage.
“Ausgrid is extending what has historically been seen to be a network to include storage,” says Ausgrid CEO Marc England. “It’s important to us that we provide this platform. Just like the networks historically with poles, wires, substations, transformers, we provide this platform that allows competition to happen.”
