Neighbourhood Battery Initiative Research Partnership

Neighbourhood battery storage models are still a relatively nascent technology in the National Electricity Market (NEM), facing a range of technical, logistical, regulatory and financial challenges to deployment. Victorias Neighbourhood Battery Initiative (NBI) will fund trials and demonstrations of neighbourhood batteries in Victoria to help overcome these challenges, support the Victorian Governments understanding of the role neighbourhood batteries can play in our states transitioning electricity system, and demonstrate a range of benefits for Victorian communities, energy users and electricity networks.
