Where it operates: WA — Perth and the South-West Interconnected System (SWIS).

How you earn

VPP event: 70c/kWh bill credit for energy discharged during activation events, plus offset credits so charging by Synergy doesn’t leave you short. Up to ~30 events/yr.

Your everyday rates — daily supply charge ($/day), usage (c/kWh) and standard feed-in — depend on your network and the specific plan. Check the operator’s official page (or Energy Made Easy) for current figures before joining.

No fixed battery brand list — to join you must be on the WA Government Battery Rebate Scheme, which requires your inverter / all-in-one system to be on Synergy’s Supported Solutions List (SSL) and your battery on the CEC Approved Batteries List. So in practice most rebate-eligible (VPP-capable) systems qualify; the brands shown are the current SSL inverter brands. Tesla Powerwall is NOT on the SSL.
