NSW Homeowners & Installers: this changes everything🚨 It's officially live!

The VPP Marketplace is now available for NSW homeowners and installers, making it easier than ever to connect with Virtual Power Plant opportunities and unlock more value from batteries and energy upgrades.

You've heard us talking about it - now you can read all about it on our website. ⚡

Testing out the new Exploren fast charging station at Bunnings Warehouse Australia! Watch to the end to see how much it cost.

Comparatively, before making the switch to an EV, this family would spend more than $75 on half a tank of petrol (more than 70% savings) and they aren't alone which why more Australians are making the switch to EVs. ⛽💸

Public fast chargers like this are a great way to top up while you're out running errands, but the real savings come when you charge at home. Install a home EV charger and you could charge your vehicle for even less, all from the comfort of your driveway.

Interested in home EV charging? Contact MAC Trade Services and we'll help you find the right charging solution for your home.

Winning pitch - Energy Efficiency Council Conference: A battery on wheels. Australia is searching for ways to increase energy storage, strengthen the grid and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

At the same time, thousands of electric vehicles containing substantial battery capacity are being adopted by households very month. Renters contribute the same RET levy has home owners yet have no asset rights or ways to benefit from the RET by installing solar or batteries. Rooftop solar and home batteries are often tied to property ownership, leaving a significant portion of Australians unable to participate fully in the clean energy future.

What if we allowed EVs to be recognised as the mobile batteries that they are? Allow renters to receive a ‘battery’ subsidy (STCs) on their EV purchase and use that to power their home via a V2G/V2H connection.

What if we took it one step further and considered what a mobile fleet of batteries could look like for a VPP asset in a Retailer sense. A fleet that is transferable, depreciable and useable in more ways than one.

At the EEC National Conference Pitch Session which, while theoretical in nature, was designed to challenge existing assumptions and spark discussion about how policy settings could evolve to better support Australia’s energy transition, Merrily Hunter posed a simple question:

“The largest battery we have in our home is not the one mounted on the wall but the one parked in the driveway, lets recognise it for what it is, an EV is just a battery on wheels”

Unlike a fixed battery, it moves with the person who owns it. It isn’t tied to a roof, a postcode or a mortgage. Recognising EVs as batteries on wheels could create new pathways for renters to access the benefits of clean energy, while unlocking a vast network of distributed storage already sitting in driveways across Australia.

The idea sparked plenty of discussion and ultimately took out the conference’s winning pitch.

Because perhaps the future of energy storage isn’t something we need to build. Perhaps it’s something we’re already driving.

Winning pitch - Energy Efficiency Council Conference: Are we solving the wrong problem? Australia is searching for ways to increase energy storage, strengthen the grid and improve access to renewable energy.

At the same time, thousands of electric vehicles containing substantial battery capacity are being added to the network every month. Yet for many renters, the benefits of the energy transition remain out of reach. Rooftop solar and home batteries are often tied to property ownership, leaving a significant portion of Australians unable to participate fully in the clean energy future.

At the EEC National Conference Pitch Session which, while theoretical in nature, was designed to challenge existing assumptions and spark discussion about how policy settings could evolve to better support Australia's energy transition, Merrily posed a simple question:

"What if the challenge isn't building more batteries, but finding better ways to use the batteries we already have?"

What if an EV wasn't just a vehicle, but a mobile energy asset capable of storing solar energy, powering a home and supporting the grid? Unlike a fixed battery, it moves with the person who owns it. It isn't tied to a roof, a postcode or a mortgage. Recognising EVs as batteries on wheels could create new pathways for renters to access the benefits of clean energy, while unlocking a vast network of distributed storage already sitting in driveways across Australia.

Great to see our CEO Merrily Hunter speaking at the National Conference in Sydney last week about the future of Virtual Power Plants and making participation easier for both homeowners and installers.

At we’re helping make VPP participation simpler with two free NSW-based tools:

- Our VPP Comparison Tool helps NSW homeowners find and compare VPP offers for their battery. Simply enter your battery make and model, and a comparison table of available VPPs will appear below: https://loom.ly/-Y4uH4U

- Our NSW VPP Marketplace enables battery installers to connect eligible customers to VPPs, access available incentives, and add more value to their battery quotes: https://loom.ly/CVooEt4
