"It is still early days since the start of the federal government’s new battery
rebate scheme, but it already appears clear that it will be far more effective
than anyone anticipated.
The first few weeks of the battery rebate have seen around 1,000 registrations
for new household batteries per day, with an average size of 18 kilowatt hours
(kWh). Both the registration numbers and the battery sizes are far higher than
expected, and we can probably thank lower battery prices, and soaring customer
bills, for that.
If this rate of registrations continues for the whole year, it could deliver
around 250,000 battery systems, and 4,500 megawatt hours (MWh) of storage by
next June.
If that rate continues until 2030, and these batteries are cycled once a day,
that would deliver almost twice the energy that is currently provided by the
federal government’s existing Snowy Hydro power system on average across the
year."
