Latrobe Valley Microgrid Feasibility Study

closed

The Latrobe Valley Microgrid Feasibility Study will assess the viability of creating a local energy marketplace for dairy farms, residential participants and commercial/industrial customers in the Latrobe Valley.Participants will sell excess energy generation, demand response capabilities and network support services to improve integration of distributed energy resources, such as rooftop solar. The Project will incorporate PV, storage, demand response and LO3 Energy’s Exergy platform to deliver an optimal distributed energy model in the region.Key resultsA key finding from the feasibility analysis is that a LEM could provide a compelling proposition for consumers who value renewable electricity and supporting their local communities. The LEM could allow consumers and prosumers to achieve their environmental and social objectives without increasing their current energy bills and perhaps even lowering them.
