Released in April 2020, the DER Roadmap outlined critical actions to be taken over five years to meet the challenges presented by DER and realise a future with cleaner, more affordable energy.
After 12 months of progress, the implementation of the Roadmap actions is on track, achieving several highlights including:
- installation of 10 PowerBanks, making community battery storage available to more customers;
- commencement of a tariff pilot that rewards greater consumption of solar energy; and
- progress of Project Symphony, a trial to test the coordination of many solar panels and batteries to act as a virtual power plant.
Work to implement the rest of the Roadmap continues, with the support of project partners Energy Policy WA, Western Power, Synergy, Horizon Power and the Australian Energy Market Operator.
