Demand for home batteries in Australia has taken off, with a generous government subsidy prompting more people to add power storage to their solar panel set up.

More people installed a battery in the second half of last year than during the previous five years.

Renewable power generation also made up half of the nation’s power supply last quarter.

Today, Tony Wood from the Grattan Institute on what the surge in home batteries and renewables in the grid means for everyone’s power bills now and into the future.
