The government of South Australia has unveiled a plan to roll out the world’s largest Virtual Power Plant

The government of South Australia has unveiled a plan (see http://ourenergyplan.sa.gov.au/virtual-power-plant) to roll out a network of at least 50,000 home solar and battery systems. The systems, which use Tesla Powerwall 2 batteries, will form the world’s largest virtual power plant.

The first trial includes 1,100 properties, where a 5kW solar panel system and 13.5kWh Tesla Powerwall 2 battery will be installed at no charge to the household. It will then be financed through the sale of electricity.
