Getting involved in our VPP
If you're looking to maximise the value of your solar battery, AGL’s Virtual Power Plant (VPP) and Battery Rewards Plan can work together to help deliver smart savings. Together, these programs turn your battery into a powerful tool for both sustainability and savings.
If you live in South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales or Queensland – and already have a battery installed – if eligible, you can now connect it to the Virtual Power Plant and help improve grid reliability. In return, you’ll receive bill credits over your first 12 months to put towards your electricity bill.
The amount you earn depends on how much you export. You choose how much energy to export, and there are no penalties for exporting your full battery. Whether you’re helping stabilise the grid or simply optimising your energy usage, the Battery Rewards Plan# ensures you’re rewarded for it.
The plan also offers lower overnight rates, so even if you recharge from the grid, you’ll still come out ahead. Charge your battery with our low variable rates. If you’re on a time-of-use (ToU) rate, you can charge your battery at night when electricity is cheaper than the rewards you receive for exporting that energy.
#The Battery Rewards Plan is available to residential customers in NSW, QLD, South Australia and Victoria, where AGL operates. Plan T&Cs available at Market Contracts. Basic Plan Information Documents and Fact Sheets containing key details of these plans are available upon request. If you export to the grid at least 1kWh energy between 5pm-9pm, after 3 months you’ll earn a gift card worth at least 25c per kWh. The amount you earn depends on how much you export. Prepaid Digital Visa gift card T&Cs available at Visa terms.
