Recommendation 1

6.7The committee recommends that the Australian Government, in coordination with state and territory governments, should promote households to uptake consumer energy resources, including rooftop solar, home batteries, bi-direction electric vehicle chargers and home energy management systems. In conjunction with those efforts, households should be promoted to participate with aggregators which can operate distributed assets in a coordinated fashion in response to grid and market conditions.

Recommendation 2

6.14The committee recommends that the Australian Government, in coordination with state and territory governments, should prioritise investment in technologies that extend and improve the system value of rooftop solar, such as home batteries and home energy management systems.

Recommendation 3

6.15The committee recommends that the Australian Government, in coordination with state and territory governments, should prioritise how community batteries can spread the benefits of rooftop solar to consumers who are unable to install their own systems, such as renters, apartment dwellers or low-income earners.

Recommendation 4
