“Missing link:” More than 420 neighbourhood batteries approved to boost and share rooftop solar

More than 420 community or “neighbourhood” batteries have been approved by the federal government and the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (Arena) in a move it says will boost the capacity of local networks to absorb the huge growth in rooftop solar.

The funding, long promised by the Labor government in the last election campaign as part of its Powering Australia package, will see batteries installed in every state and territory, with NSW to get the most with an allocation of nearly 100.

The funding will be split between batteries installed and funded by networks, and batteries funded by non-network organisations, including many local community groups.
