Powering Up Aussie Homes: Your Say on Future Energy Tech!
Shaping the Future of Home Energy in Australia: Have Your Say!
Australian households are leading the charge in embracing Consumer Energy Resources (CER) – we've seen record-breaking investments in solar panels, batteries, and smart home energy systems. But what's next? What technologies will truly empower consumers and unlock the full potential of CER?
The National Consumer Energy Resources (CER) Roadmap is charting a course for the future, and we need your input! We’re specifically focusing on the Technology workstream, and we’re inviting you to share your thoughts, ideas, and priorities.
Why Your Feedback Matters
This isn't just about fancy gadgets. It’s about building an energy system that’s:
- More Affordable: Reducing energy bills and making CER accessible to everyone.
- More Reliable: Ensuring a stable and resilient energy supply, even during peak demand or outages.
- More Sustainable: Reducing our carbon footprint and contributing to a cleaner environment.
- Consumer-Centric: Giving you, the consumer, more control and choice over your energy usage.
Key Areas We're Exploring
The Technology workstream is diving deep into several crucial areas, including:
- Battery Storage: Exploring advancements in battery technology, including cost reduction, increased capacity, and improved safety. We want to know – what battery storage solutions are you most interested in?
- Smart Home Energy Management Systems: Investigating how smart technology can optimize energy usage, automate processes, and provide real-time insights.
- Virtual Power Plants (VPPs): Examining the role of VPPs in aggregating distributed energy resources and providing grid services.
- Electric Vehicle (EV) Integration: Considering how EVs can be integrated into the energy system to provide grid stability and support renewable energy generation.
- Cybersecurity: Prioritising the security of CER systems to protect against cyber threats and ensure data privacy.
How to Get Involved
We want to hear from a wide range of stakeholders, including:
- Homeowners with existing CER systems
- Renters interested in accessing CER benefits
