VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN House of Assembly Stuart Deputy Premier Minister for Energy and Mining Home Battery Scheme The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart—Deputy Premier, Minister for Energy and Mining): I have been advised: Based on the current uptake rate we are forecasting to reach 280 megawatt hours of storage by December 2022, the original storage target based on 40,000 batteries at seven kilowatt hours. The 2021 State Budget included an additional $18,000,000 to support South Australian home owners to continue to install larger capacity batteries while delivering the government’s commitment for 40,000 subsidised battery systems. Our modelling forecasts these will be committed by December 2025.
