Compare Battery and VPP plans in NSW QLD SA TAS and VIC

Got battery storage and looking to compare Battery or VPP Plans?

If you have energy storage at your place, you’ll now find that energy retailer’s make special battery offers available. Increasingly, VPPs are an “add-on” to a retailers generally available or battery plans. For a summary of retailer VPPs go here.

Battery Plans

Battery plans typically offer a higher export tariffs in the evening, making home storage essential. Usually, any battery can participate. That’s because the household will need to set their own export schedule if they’d like to access peak export prices. Battery plans may be combined with a retailer’s VPP to receive additional rewards.

Virtual Power Plant (VPP) plans

Some retailers still offer seperate VPP plans with an exclusive set of rates. By joining a VPP, households agree to have their battery controlled by the retailer and discharged during peak events – which are typically infrequent. In return, energy retailers provide incentives and payments for storage owners, helping to offset the cost of their system. Only compatible battery brands or inverters will be able to participate in a VPP. The retailer will manage the battery for periods during key events. Most VPPs specify a maximum annual usage, and a minimum battery reserve after each event. You’ll find a comparison below of the battery and VPP plans with official Energy Fact Sheets (aka BPIDs) that are publicly accessible. We hope in time that more retailers will take the opportunity to share their offers for battery households.

VPP credits and feed-in tariffs are important, but to find the best deal for your homes unique energy use, you’ll want to see the cheapest combination of rates, daily charges, controlled load rates and feed-in tariffs. We make it easy to get it right when you compare with WATTever’s comprehensive electricity comparison. When you select that you have a battery in the comparison profile entry, we display VPP plans in the results so you can see how they stack up against non-VPP plans as well. You’ll see a personalised cost ranking of all publicly listed electricity plans, based on your energy use to help you make serious savings. We include all retailers, tariff types, discounts, solar feed-in tariffs, input for concessions and more. For extra tips check out our essential guide to comparing electricity properly

VPP plans for Tasmania

Rates shown include GST and all available discounts. Plan rates are variable and future rates may be subject to change by the Retailer. Estimated rates for market-linked plans are sourced from retailer factsheets. Plans are updated weekly from retailer’s Basic Plan Information Documents (BPIDs)/Energy Price Fact Sheets.
*Reference Price refers to the unconditional discount off the yearly cost of the Default Market Offer (DMO) for NSW, QLD and SA, Victorian Default Offer (VDO), ActewAGL Standing offer for ACT or Aurora Regulated Offer for TAS, for a household on a flat rate tariff without controlled load. Discount is calculated based on annual usage in each state/network area of 7,722kWh (ACT), 3,900kWh (NSW-Ausgrid), 4,900kWh (NSW-Endeavour), 4,600kWh (NSW-Essential), 4,600kWh (QLD-Energex), 4,000 (SA), 4,000kWh (VIC) and 9,475kWh (TAS) AER benchmark. Energy Regulators require the DMO and VDO Reference Price to be displayed, however it does not take into account solar export nor a property’s actual annual usage or when that usage occurs (for Time Of Use plans).
Cost/Year estimate shown is for the first year and includes all conditional discounts, plus the value of exclusive benefits available when switching through wattever.com.au such as Prezzee eGift cards from WATTever and additional upfront/recurring credits from partner retailers. See plan details for more information. Cost/Year estimate excludes export value – there is no benchmark for this. Your bill will vary based on actual usage and export.
