Home battery VPPs in Victoria

Electricity in Victoria

Victoria is part of the NEM with a fully contestable retail market and its own government comparison site, Victorian Energy Compare. Five distributors cover the state — CitiPower, Powercor, AusNet, Jemena and United Energy. Victoria has very high solar uptake; the Solar Victoria battery loan has closed, leaving the federal discount as the main battery incentive.
