Battery Incentives Made Simple with 1 Stop Solar
A home battery is one of the smartest ways to cut your reliance on the grid and take control of your power costs. In NSW, connecting that battery to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) may also entitle you to an incentive under the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme. With 1 Stop Solar, you get help choosing the right battery and a clear explanation of the VPP onboarding process. You can then sign up with whichever energy retailer or VPP provider suits you.
What Is a Virtual Power Plant?
A VPP is a connected network of home batteries that work together to support the grid. Instead of relying only on large power stations when demand surges, participating batteries can contribute some of their stored energy. This improves grid reliability, helps integrate more renewable energy and rewards the households that take part.
How Is the Incentive Paid?
Your VPP provider delivers the incentive through certificates created when your battery is onboarded. Depending on the offer, you might receive an upfront credit, bill credits, or payments for ongoing participation. There is no single fixed amount. It varies by battery size and model, provider and contract terms.
Who Is Eligible?
- Households and eligible small businesses in NSW
- A battery with usable capacity above 2 kWh and up to 50 kWh (incentive calculated on the first 28 kWh)
- A battery accepted by your chosen VPP provider
- A VPP contract of at least 12 months
- A working internet connection
- No life support equipment on the premises
