Project Symphony is a flagship project under the Western Australian Distributed Energy Resources (DER) Roadmap, which provides a blueprint for integrating these resources into the power system. The two-year pilot will test the ability of distributed energy resources to participate in energy markets alongside traditional power stations, unlocking value for customers and the power system.
Project Symphony is a $35.5 million project, funded by the Western Australian State Government ($19.3m), the Federal Government ($8.6m, allocated through the Australian Renewable Energy Agency – ARENA), and the Australian Energy Market Operator – AEMO ($7.6m).
The project is being delivered in partnership by Energy Policy WA, Western Power, Synergy, and AEMO.
Synergy has begun recruiting eligible customers for the trial, which is expected to run until June 2023.
