The Clarkes - who live on a property near Tarago, south of Goulburn, and bought a Nissan Leaf in April 2023 - were part of a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology trial through their electricity network Essential Energy and retailer Amber Electric.
They've made a killing. When two units went out at Eraring power station in NSW in May last year, they made $570 in two hours. When a similar event happened at Yallourn in Victoria last month, they made $370.
Having signed up to a pilot program, the couple are among the first in Australia to profit from what is known as vehicle-to-grid, or bidirectional charging, allowing people to store power in their car batteries during the day when the sun is out and power is cheap, and sell it back during the evening peak.
The UTS research, which looked at early adopters of vehicle-to-the-grid charging, found four of the five were able to power their home and car and make an average of $1000 a year from selling power to the grid. During one price spike, a single user earned $565 in two hours. "You originally think of it as a car you can use to power your house," one of the participants said. "I didn't realise until a couple of weeks in that I thought about it the other way around. It was a house battery you can drive around." |
