It’s a question anyone who’s deploying capital on DER, so assets like solar PV, battery storage, electric vehicle charging, hydrogen electrolysers etc, will be asking themselves. The fact is that distributed energy resources often exhibit quite dynamic...

There’s a healthy debate underway in the energy sector around where battery energy storage assets should be located within electricity systems, in order to create the greatest possible value, both for their owners and for society more broadly. As a general rule, the...

The transition to decarbonised and decentralised energy systems is occurring in lockstep with the growth in e-mobility. Whether it’s countries ratcheting up emissions standards, outright bans on new sales of internal combustion engine vehicles or the auto...

The TL;DR We simulated the same behind-the-meter commercial solar and battery project across the 14 distribution networks that make up the WEM and NEM. We found that there could be up to a 150% difference in the network tariff savings based on the very same...
