VPP with a difference. AGL to install and maintain a battery on the customers premises. The customer has access to 20% of capacity except for peak load events. AGL can use the remaining battery capacity any way they require. Power is generated and consumed locally. Reducing some of load on the transmission infrastructure. If the above is not feasible. Similar installation and the customer gets preferential rates on imports and exports of energy for having an AGL battery on their premises

Maybe its time for AGL to have another look at this post.

That would make a lot of sense, still provide profit for a retailer, and incentive for people with suitable solar to get a 'free' battery.

The 2nd option might work as well.

Bottom line though, I think anything that doesn't continuously improve profits for a retailer is going to be off the table.
