What Are Community Batteries?
Community Batteries are shared energy storage systems that benefit entire neighborhoods. They allow residents to benefit from stored solar energy without needing to install individual household batteries.

Benefits for Residents
Accessibility: Even if you don't have solar panels, you can benefit from stored solar energy.
Cost-Effective: Shared storage eliminates the high cost of individual household batteries.
Grid Support: These batteries help manage peak demand, potentially lowering electricity costs for everyone.

Canberra's Renewable Energy Goals
This initiative supports Canberra's ambitious renewable energy targets:

Since 2020, 100% of electricity in the ACT has come from renewable sources.
The territory aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2045.
