At Karit, we’re on a mission to drive innovation and positive change in the energy sector. That’s why we are calling on energy policymakers to implement mandates for VPP participation within the Cheaper Home Batteries Program. This change would not only deliver increased cost savings and grid benefits but also accelerate the transition to a cleaner, more collaborative energy future in Australia.

Karit’s Brett Milne outlines the key opportunities in this release published today: https://karitpower.com/karit-vpp-participation-mandate-cheaper-home-batteries-program-benefits/

Find out how mandated VPP participation will maximise Home Batteries Program benefits and ensure success of Cheaper Home Batteries Program.
