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