Energy Storage as a Service (ESaaS) is an energy retail plan that allows multiple eligible customers to access a shared community battery, saving some customers more than $200 per year. This approach can deliver cost savings for consumers, improve grid reliability, facilitate greater integration of renewable energy and support home electrification. ESaaS will be offered by energy retailers partnering with Ausgrid under an innovative trial tariff and is made available to residential customers that live near an eligible community battery.
In its latest regulatory proposal Ausgrid has included sub-threshold Community Battery tariffs for Local-Use-of-System (LUOS) charges that enable ESaaS bill benefits. The LUOS trial tariffs offered by Ausgrid are available to any retailer with an eligible residential ESaaS customer offering from 1st July 2024. The details of the arrangement are agreed in a trial tariff agreement between participating retailers and Ausgrid. We currently have two partnerships in place with Origin and EnergyAustralia.
