Tender number NS21-0084
The Northern Territory Government established the Home and Business Battery Scheme (HBBS) in April 2020. The HBBS provides grant subsidies to Territory homeowners and businesses for the purchase and installation of battery systems.
From 2 August 2021, the Northern Territory Government will introduce new technical requirements for batteries purchased under the HBBS requiring them to have virtual power plant (VPP) capability.
The Australian Energy Market Operator has established a standard set of technical requirements for VPP capability. Determining the VPP capability of each type of battery system, comprising a combination of battery and inverter, must be assessed on an individual basis by a suitably qualified and experienced electrical engineer.
To fulfil the requirement for the NT to have a list of VPP capable battery systems to assess eligibility for the HBBS, the NT is seeking to procure a current and updated list of battery systems that has been assessed as having the required VPP capability.
