Before you join

Must be on EnergyAustralia's Battery Ease electricity plan — the plan and VPP are one product. July 2026 rates and tariff structure are network-specific and supplied to customers by email/plan Details; do not substitute an older schedule. The current official notice says the VPP credit is unchanged at $15/month and the feed-in structure is 8c/kWh for the first 10 kWh/day exported, then 3c/kWh above that threshold. No fees, no minimum term, no exit fee (30 days' notice). Grid imports used to charge the battery remain billed at the applicable plan rates.

EnergyAustralia's platform accesses the battery remotely — at most 200 kWh a year and one cycle a day, though events can run without prior notification and manufacturer app modes may be disabled during them; at least 10% capacity is always reserved. No per-event opt-out; leave on 30 days' written notice. (The 2024 terms describe an 80-hour annual event expectation; the current page uses the 200 kWh limit.)

Origin publishes a closed list of eligible battery and inverter models for Battery Lite and says a battery absent from it is likely ineligible. The Battery Lite battery list also names 1KOMMA5, Ambrion, Energizer, ESY Sunhome, Eveready, FranklinWH, GivEnergy, Goanna, Hive, Neovolt, SAJ and SolaX, which are not in this catalogue. Eligibility is model-specific and the inverter must be listed too. AlphaESS is listed for Battery Lite in its own right; the separate partner offer is installed by Solar Battery Group. Minimums: 5 kWh battery, 5 kW operational solar, smart meter and reliable Wi-Fi; no life-support at the premises; can't be in another VPP.

A family listing does not confirm every model or inverter. Final eligibility rests with the provider.

Before you join

Any Origin residential plan — no plan change needed. No minimum term (leave on 20 business days' notice per Main Terms clause 10.1(a)); claiming the NSW battery incentive locks in a 3-year minimum, and Origin-installed-battery variants carry 60-month terms with pro-rata exit fees. The Origin Loop VPP Battery Terms and Conditions define an Early Termination Fee only for the Monthly Credit Offer (Schedule 3) and Origin Installed Battery + Upfront Discount Offer (Schedule 4); Schedule 2 (BYO/Battery Lite, this offer) has no termination clause or Early Termination Fee of its own, so termination follows the fee-free Main Terms clause 10.1(a). A current customer offer/Welcome Letter must confirm any other fees, retained tariff and event/feed-in treatment before a numerical comparison.

Origin may remotely charge, discharge or hold the battery at any time and requires it to be controllable at least 90% of each month; it aims to leave about 20% charge (Powerwall 2 is guaranteed 20%) and never discharges during blackouts. No per-event opt-out on Battery Lite. The Origin app shows when and how much was discharged.

Common questions

Do I get paid more if my battery is bigger?

Only in programs that pay per kWh dispatched (up to their cap), or that set their credit by system size. A flat monthly or annual credit pays the same regardless of battery size.

What is a dispatch cap?

The maximum energy the operator may draw from your battery in a year. It is a control limit, not a payment — but in per-kWh programs it also puts a ceiling on what you can earn.

Why do most programs need an account with the provider?

The operator may need to be your energy retailer to settle dispatched energy on your bill. If you already use that retailer, a switch may not be needed. If you must switch, check the underlying plan's rates too.

Will a VPP work for me?

It helps if your battery comfortably covers your own evening use first, so the energy a program draws is genuinely spare. A larger battery, or one that is rarely empty by morning, has more room to earn. A small battery on a program that requires switching to expensive rates can leave you worse off.

Do I need a smart meter?

Most programs do. Expect a meter exchange if you still have a basic meter, and confirm with the provider before you sign up.
