Buying Advice
Which VPP program is best?
Best for maximum upside
Wholesale-linked programs can offer higher upside during price spikes, but earnings vary and some plans need more active attention.
Best for predictable credits
Fixed-credit and event-payment programs are easier to understand because they publish bill credits, export rates, caps, and provider rules upfront.
Best if you do not want to switch retailers
Retailer-independent options let you keep your electricity retailer. VPP Finder currently tracks 3 programs with no retailer lock-in.
There is no single best VPP for every Australian battery owner. The right program depends on your state, battery brand, battery size, solar system, tolerance for variable wholesale prices, and whether you are prepared to switch electricity retailers.
