Nearly A$4 billion (US$2.72 billion) of battery projects in Australia are in the running to receive financial support from ARENA.

Batteries will be mounted on electricity poles across the low voltage distribution network and aggregated as a virtual power plant (VPP), in a project which will trial their ability to integrate more renewable energy in two regions of Victoria, Australia.
