This free community event in Armidale comes just days after the launch of the federal government’s $2.3 billion Cheaper Home Batteries Program, which will provide around 30 percent upfront discounts on battery installations for eligible households and businesses. The session will help locals unpack what battery storage means for homes, electric vehicles, and the wider community.

Whether you are a renter, homeowner, installer, or simply curious about the future of energy, this event will offer clear and practical insights. It will cover the benefits and challenges of battery storage and explain how systems like Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) work. You will also hear how storage links with community-scale projects and electricity networks.

Expert speakers include:

Geoff Bragg (Smart Energy Council): How home batteries work and what the new federal incentive means

Bridie Schmidt (NRMA): How EVs can store and supply energy with technologies like V2G, V2H and V2L

Sally Hunter (Geni.Energy): How communities can co-own and benefit from energy storage

Alistair Fletcher (Essential Energy): How batteries integrate with the broader grid, including pole-top and neighbourhood-scale options
