iStore Batteries Comply With NSW Battery Scheme
iStore is pleased to announce their battery range now complies with the current published “Equipment Requirements” released by the NSW government in conjunction with the Scheme Administrator (IPART).
NSW Climate and Energy Action states “Installing more batteries across NSW will help make the grid more reliable and stable while reducing our reliance on fossil fuels during periods of peak demand. This will help reduce NSW’s emissions by 70% by 2035 and achieve net zero by 2050.”
“It’s wonderful to see another state scheme roll out in Australia, we know from experience that these schemes are very effective in not only achieving industry growth but also generating better accessibility for homeowners wishing to enhance their sustainability by purchasing a battery. The scheme will see NSW property owners who utilise the rebate reduce their power bills while contributing to our collective net-zero targets. It’s a win-win for everyone,” says iStore CEO, Eliese De Oliveira.
The current equipment requirements proposed by the NSW government have varied slightly from previous state rebates. This has required additional product development, testing and subsequent changes to warranty conditions for most industry manufacturers. Fortunately for iStore, the exceptional quality of our product has meant that we have been able to adopt these higher requirements and these amendments have now been published effective September 2024.
If you’re an eligible NSW resident, you could access between $1600 to $2400 off the up-front installation costs of a battery for homes and businesses with existing solar and between $250 to $400 for connecting your household or business battery to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP). Further information regarding the scheme is available here.
iStore is an Australian-owned and operated company with the safest battery technology in the market. iStore batteries have four layers of safety technology including 8 temperature sensors per cell and automatic self-extinguishers. A slim and compact design makes the battery range a versatile solution for any homeowner.
