Australia Distributed Energy Market Growth Factors
Rooftop solar is a high growth segment in the Australia distributed energy market. Falling costs in conjunction with government subsidies such as Victoria's Solar Homes Scheme and South Australia's Home Battery Scheme as well as rising electricity prices are driving an increase in rooftop solar installations. Net energy consumed increased 2% to 23,294 PJ. Total renewable electricity generated 325 PJ. Solar power remained as the largest renewable energy source generating 151 PJ by 21%. During the year, energy consumption by households increased 3%. Solar panel uptake continued to grow, along with the increasing availability of battery storage allowing consumers to store their own energy and increase grid resilience. Dynamic pricing and virtual power plant (VPP) programs are other trends spurring decentralized energy.

Energy storage technologies ease growth, with the latest battery energy storage systems (BESS) showing improved efficiency, longer life, higher charging rates, and compatibility with home energy management systems. In Australia 28,262 solar batteries had installation within a year. The total number of hybrid solar-plus-storage systems reached 121,551. This equals around 3% of all solar installations. Batteries store surplus solar energy to potentially ensure energy independence and reliability during blackouts and when energy prices peak. Affordable battery systems can supply energy to buffer the electricity grid. This eases Australia's transition, so it generates and distributes cleaner, more decentralized energy.

Australia produced more distributed energy and contributed because distributed energy resources, like rooftop solar, home batteries, and community energy hubs, generate electricity near where people use it, which cuts transmission losses and congestion. Decentralized systems make energy more independent with resilience when blackouts occur. Consumers gain more power. Policy goals around reducing emissions and democratizing access to the energy market are increasing the opportunities for energy developers and users in general. Modernizing electricity grids and better digital infrastructure is fueling a flexible, consumer-centric electricity system that can support rapidly growing energy decentralization.
