Is Your Battery Working for You —

The $1,500 Trade-Off
From 1 July 2025, the NSW battery rebate will increase to $1,500 for a 27kWh battery linked to a VPP. It's pitched as a reward — but the real story’s in the fine print.
Signing up means giving away control of your battery
Your energy can be sold to the grid — and you don’t choose when
In many cases, you’ll end up with lower feed-in tariffs, higher daily rates, and less flexibility
It’s marketed as a win-win. It’s not.

So Who's Paying for These Incentives?
The cash comes from somewhere — and it’s not always the energy companies taking the hit.
Many VPP-specific plans bake the cost into their pricing
The “reward” is often balanced out by worse rates over time
Some retailers use your battery like a rental asset — dispatching it when prices spike, while they pocket the difference
You're the asset. They’re collecting the value.

There’s a Smarter Way Forward
If you’ve got a battery, you don’t need to hand it over to someone else.
You can:
Keep full Control
Sell your excess energy on your terms
Get better runs with fewer restrictions
This path isn’t advertised by retailers — because they don’t earn from it. But it exists. And it’s growing.
