We are thrilled to present the Winter edition of our New Energy Quarterly – Distributed Energy Resources.
Distributed energy resources (DERs) are transforming the Australian National Energy Market (NEM). These decentralised technologies, like rooftop solar, battery storage, and even electric vehicles, allow consumers to generate and manage energy on-site, reducing reliance on centralised power.
This edition explores the rapid growth of DERs, from rooftop solar’s increasing contribution to Australia’s energy mix to the future potential of agrisolar and Virtual Power Plants. We also discuss key challenges and opportunities, such as effective contracting and the evolving investment landscape, marked by significant transactions like Aware Super’s partnership with Birdwood Energy.
As DERs gain momentum, we examine their role in shaping a more sustainable and resilient energy future.
