\"Northern<\/p>\n

The Northern Territory Government says upcoming changes to its Home and Business Battery Scheme (HBBS) will improve the initiative’s equity, efficiency and effectiveness.<\/p>\n

In April last year, the Gunner Government took the wraps off the HBBS, which provides a $6,000 grant for the installation of a solar power system with an eligible battery and inverter, or retrofitting energy storage to an existing solar system. To get the $6k, the minimum capacity of the battery system needs to be 7 kilowatt-hours and hardware must be Clean Energy Council approved.<\/p>\n

Funding for the scheme has come from a controversial cut<\/a> to the NT solar feed-in tariff<\/a> for new PV installations. Jacana Energy customers with solar panels installed prior to the FiT cut-off date who then take up the HBBS offer are also shifted from the previous one-for-one feed-in tariff to the standard feed-in tariff.<\/p>\n

NT Battery Subsidy Uptake<\/h2>\n

According to the NT Government, more than 780 Territorian households and businesses have applied for the Home and Business Battery Scheme. Over 550 applications have been approved so far worth $3.3 million in subsidies for a total value of approved works of $11.1 million.<\/p>\n

It’s not mentioned how many of these approved grants have resulted in an installation thus far, but it’s expected this will deliver about 3.8 megawatt hours of electricity storage capacity.<\/p>\n

Given the popularity of the HBBS, the Territory Labor Government invested another $2.8 million<\/a> in the scheme in Budget 2021 in addition to the original $800,000 in funding.<\/p>\n

Upcoming Changes To HBBS<\/h2>\n

Starting next month, a change to the HBBS will tie the amount of grant available to battery capacity – $450 per kilowatt hour, up to a maximum grant of $6,000. Using the example of a Tesla Powerwall<\/a>, which has 13.5kWh storage capacity, it will be eligible for the full $6,000.<\/p>\n

Then from early August this year, the grant will only be available for battery systems assessed as being virtual power plant (VPP)<\/a> capable and on a list of approved systems.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe changes to the scheme mean we are giving Territorians more choice to the battery they want while making sure we are supporting our grid, and further stabilising it,” said<\/a> Minister for Renewables and Energy, Eva Lawler.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s not clear how the changes will result in more choice given there will be a list of approved systems, but perhaps the 7kWh minimum storage capacity requirement is being removed – although under 7kWh isn’t much in the way of storage. I wasn’t able to find a list of battery systems that will be eligible under this new requirement at this stage.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t appear grant recipients will be compelled to join a virtual power plant1<\/a><\/sup>, but the ability to do so will need to be there.<\/p>\n
