Tomorrow can't wait because the future of energy is here

Distributed Energy Resources (DER) Roadmap

Our energy systems look very different today, compared with only a few years ago. 

We’re working with the State Government and other partners to help deliver  some of the actions outlined in the Distributed Energy Resources (DER) Roadmap. The DER Roadmap guides what needs to happen to address new opportunities and challenges related to how we generate, manage and consume electricity in WA.

Virtual Power Plant

Across WA, there are more rooftop solar systems and solar batteries than ever before. These are known as distributed energy resources. A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) involves aggregating these distributed energy resources and then dispatching electricity based on demand, in the same way as a traditional power plant.

Schools VPP Pilot Project: WA’s First VPP

VPPs are likely to play a major role in WA’s future. We’re launching WA’s first VPP in conjunction with the State Government, transforming a number of WA schools into smart, green and flexible VPPs. Along the way, we’ll be providing opportunities for schools to become more energy efficient and explore new opportunities in renewable energy education.

Midday Saver Pilot

Solar power production peaks during the sunniest part of the day, which is generally between 10am and 2pm here in WA. Our Midday Saver Pilot is designed to encourage our customers who have solar at home to shift their electricity use to the middle of the day where possible.

Powerbank

Battery power has many benefits, as batteries can store excess solar energy to be used after the sun goes down. Explore our joint initiative with Western Power, where participating eligible customers in Meadow Springs, Falcon and Ellenbrook have been given access to a local battery to virtually store excess electricity from their solar system, without the need to invest in their own battery.
