Summary
AEMO CEO Daniel Westerman says Australia's growing fleet of home batteries is delivering "enormous benefits" to the electricity grid by cutting system costs and power bills, even without being orchestrated as part of virtual power plants (VPPs). The market operator has been surprised by the positive, system-wide impact of hundreds of thousands of "passive" home batteries, which are changing the shape of demand without requiring high levels of third-party orchestration.
