Supporting the NSW Grid with Distributed Energy Storage
Overview
On 19 March 2020, the Australian Energy Storage Alliance (AESA), with support from the NSW Energy and Resources Knowledge Hub, brought together some of the energy industry’s top experts for a live panel webcast, recording unique perspectives regarding the future of distributed energy sources.
The panel of industry experts includes:
Taryn Maroney, AEMO
Ben Hutt, Evergen
Murray Hogarth, Wattwatchers
Mary Hendriks, AESA
Abbie McQueen, AECOM
The discussion covers the state of the NSW grid, how the growth of distributed energy storage resources support the grid and case studies that are relevant to NSW, including upcoming rule changes.
The growth in rooftop solar penetration and residential batteries, microgrid developments and the expected uptake of commercial energy storage are some of the issues that are creating a perfect storm in NSW.
Additionally, policy announcements by the NSW Government on its commitment towards introducing more renewable energy to the grid, and the impending launch of the NSW Empowering Homes Program have brought renewed hope to Australia’s clean energy industry.
The webcast is your chance to be informed of the latest and most important developments relating to distributed energy storage.
