Report extract
During the past seven years, ARENA has invested $1.4 billion in accelerating Australia’s uptake of renewable energy. One of the greatest returns we have on this investment is a wealth of knowledge that can help shape new business models and key market reforms in the energy sector.
Sharing knowledge effectively to fast track industry development is central to our mandate. Guided by this, we brought together 200 people from across the energy industry to share project insights and discuss topical themes.
The ARENA Insights Forum was held on 25 June 2019 and was split into two streams: large scale projects and distributed energy resources (DER). This summary presents the key messages and discussions during the DER stream, which focused on virtual power plants (VPPs), DER integration, and demand response (DR).
