About the program

The Next Gen program supports the development of the energy storage industry in the ACT, along with research and training.

During the day, solar is turned into electricity for your home or business. A solar battery stores extra energy so you have power when you need it:

• at night
• on overcast days
• at peak times when electricity prices are higher.
