Unlock Extra Value from Your Battery with AAA Energy

A home battery helps you use more of your own solar energy and rely less on the grid. For NSW households, there is an extra reason to act: an incentive for connecting your battery to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) under the NSW Peak Demand Reduction Scheme. AAA Energy supplies and installs your battery. When it is time to sign up, you can choose any participating energy retailer or VPP provider, and we will help you with the information the onboarding form asks for.

What Is a VPP?

A VPP is a group of home batteries connected to support the electricity grid when demand is high. Participants typically earn credits or payments in return. Joining a VPP is an opportunity to increase the return on your battery while making better use of renewable energy across NSW.

How the Incentive Is Delivered

The scheme creates certificates when your battery is onboarded to a VPP, and your provider passes some of that value to you. This may be an upfront credit, bill credits or ongoing payments for battery use. The value differs between providers and depends on the battery and contract, so there is no single set figure. We recommend comparing offers carefully.

Is the incentive the same with every provider?

Do I have to switch retailers?

Not always. Some offers require it, while others work with your current retailer. Check the details of each offer.
Is every battery eligible?

No. The battery must be compatible with your provider and meet the scheme's requirements.
Can AAA Energy help with the paperwork?

Yes. We can explain what the onboarding form requires and assist with system details.
