Australia’s Battery Boom: What It Means for Businesses

Australia is in the middle of a battery boom. Every day, around a thousand solar batteries are being installed nationwide. That’s about 20MWh of new storage capacity added daily.

A new report from the Smart Energy Council and the Australian Conservation Foundation shows this momentum is reshaping our energy future. And it’s not just households who stand to benefit. Businesses have a big role to play.

What the Numbers Say

The Cheaper Home Batteries Program is already outperforming expectations, and the ripple effect goes far beyond family homes:

• By 2030: Renewables’ share of supply could be 4.5% higher than current AEMO projections.
• By 2035: That figure grows to 9%, fuelled by solar and batteries.
• Emissions: Solar and storage could cut electricity emissions by 10% which is roughly 21 million tonnes of CO₂-e.
  

The takeaway? Solar and batteries are no longer “emerging tech.” They are quickly becoming the standard for reliable, affordable and sustainable energy.

What This Means for Aussie Businesses

For business owners, this shift brings challenges but also huge opportunities:

• Rising costs - Power prices keep climbing. A battery lets you store your own solar energy and use it when you need it most.
• Energy security - Outages and peak demand can hit productivity. With battery backup, your business keeps running.
• Sustainability - Customers, investors and regulators expect action. Solar and storage helps you cut emissions and strengthen your ESG credentials.
