Affordable and Reliable Energy for Local Residents
A new 200kW/284kWh community battery in Cammeray, North Sydney, is now operational, set to provide cheaper and more reliable energy for around 350 residents.
Key Features and Benefits:
1. Savings for Locals:
Expected to lower power bills by $200 annually per household.
Absorbs excess rooftop solar energy during the day, feeding it back to the grid during peak demand hours.
2. Network Improvements:
Reduces the need for costly network upgrades to poles and wires.
Benefits all consumers through lower network tariffs.
3. Solar Accessibility:
Supports the Community Batteries for Household Solar Program, enabling households to share excess solar energy without needing individual batteries.
Addresses the gap where 1 in 3 households have solar panels but only 1 in 40 have battery storage.
Federal Government’s Vision:
Federal Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Chris Bowen, emphasized the significance of community batteries, comparing their function to water storage systems: “Batteries like Cammeray’s will ensure renewable energy is available when and where it’s needed, making energy cleaner, cheaper, and more reliable.”
Senator Tony Sheldon highlighted the battery's role in easing cost-of-living pressures and securing Australia’s energy future: “This initiative underscores our commitment to a renewable energy revolution that benefits everyone.”
A Step Toward Renewable Energy Independence
The Cammeray battery is a model for advancing Australia's renewable energy goals, strengthening community energy resilience while lowering costs for households.
