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 feed-in tariff in the evening. Home storage is essential to be able to export energy and receive higher feed-in tariffs. Usually, any battery can participate. That’s because the household always retains full control of their battery. Households will need to set their own export schedule if they’d like to access peak export prices. Battery plans can often be combined with their retailer VPP to access 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
