The $ 2.3bn plan will subsidise the installation of small batteries for households, businesses and community facilities.

The scheme is modelled on the subsidy used to encourage the introduction of rooftop solar and will similarly be phased out over the next decade .

The Smart Energy Council’s chief executive, John Grimes , says those looking to install a home battery will get a discount of at least 30% on the retail and installation cost.
