FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about Virtual Power Plants

A VPP connects your home battery to a network managed by an energy company. When electricity demand is high, they can discharge a small amount of your battery's power to the grid. In return, you earn money, get better electricity rates, and help stabilize Australia's energy grid. You stay in control - your home's power needs always come first.
Most Australians with a VPP-connected battery earn between $800-1,200 per year, depending on their program, battery size, and location. This includes sign-up bonuses (typically $100-500), ongoing earnings from grid support ($400-900/year), and better electricity rates. Your exact earnings depend on which program you choose and how often the grid needs support in your area.
It depends on the VPP program. Some programs (like AGL and Origin) require you to be their electricity customer. Others (like Amber Electric, ShineHub, and Sonnen) let you keep your current retailer. Our AI advisor filters programs based on whether you want to switch or not, so you'll only see options that match your preference.
No. VPP programs are designed to protect your battery's health. Most programs only use 10-30% of your battery's capacity for grid support, and they never discharge below safe levels. Plus, modern batteries are designed for thousands of charge cycles - VPP usage typically adds less than 5% additional cycling per year. Your battery warranty remains valid when you join a VPP.
