Victoria has confirmed a second funding round for community batteries, extending support to additional councils and distribution network partners.
The next tranche prioritises suburbs with growing rooftop solar exports and local voltage management challenges.
Distribution businesses said neighbourhood batteries can reduce peak network stress while retaining more locally generated renewable energy.
Councils expect the program to complement household electrification and improve resilience during high-demand summer periods.
