That's why we're leading a four-year project, trialling a new wave of energy innovation at Alkimos Beach.
The Alkimos Beach energy storage trial received funding from ARENA as part of their emerging Renewables Program - in collaboration with trial partners Lendlease and Landcorp.
Every property in Alkimos Beach has a solar PV system size of 1.5KW or higher - so it’s an area with a really high concentration of solar.
There are three main elements to the trial:
These solutions are all designed to help to manage what are known as ‘peak events’ – extremely hot days when more people are using more power at certain times
Yes! So far, as a community, Alkimos Beach Peak Demand Saver (PDS) customers have saved^ a total of $53,020 off their collective energy bills since the trial started in April 2016.
Have saved an average $32.61 a month.
Have been saving $47.49 a month on average.
Community batteries is a great way to provide the benefits of solar and battery to the wider community.
And there's much more to learn about them and how they can be play a role in WA's future energy mix.

Find out more^Savings represented are approximate and are calculated by applying the Peak Demand Saver Plan rates to average historic consumption, usage pattern and generation based on the available data for the previous 12 months up to February 2020 and comparing this to the charges that would have been incurred at the standard A1 (Home plan) rates for the same period.
