Three new community batteries are on the way for Canberra.

The batteries will be installed in Casey, Dickson and Fadden by 31 March 2025.

These batteries will increase solar capacity in the electricity network and allow more households to connect to rooftop solar. They make the grid more reliable and efficient and support lower electricity bills and emissions.

The ACT Government and Evoenergy will work together on delivery. Evoenergy will design and maintain the batteries which are likely to produce 160 kilowatts of power and store 400 kilowatt hours of energy.

The grant funding is part of the Australian Government’s Community Batteries for Household Solar program.
