Disruptive Load Shedding, What To Do?
I’m Vincent Selleck, Managing Director of 888 Solar Tek.
In recent years, the stability of electricity grids around the world has come under increasing strain, manifesting in widespread and disruptive load shedding.
In this article, we will explore strategies to address the challenges of load shedding and evaluate the potential of transitioning to an off-grid energy system.
Here are the main things I will cover:
Sudden Blackouts as Grid is Shut Down
Load shedding is a method employed by the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) to stabilize the electricity grid, resulting in sudden, unplanned blackouts. This occurs when the supply of electricity fails to meet demand, necessitating the deliberate reduction of power to maintain system balance and prevent more severe failures.
On the evening of July 8th, the Northern Rivers experienced blackouts affecting around 24,500 customers in Ballina, Lismore, and surrounding areas due to a supply shortage.
These events are caused by coal-fired power stations going offline suddenly, reducing available generation capacity. Load shedding events like this highlight the fragility of Australia’s largest electricity market as aging coal-fired power plants become more unreliable
- a sure sign that more trouble is coming.
No More Blackouts with Solar Batteries
As the grid becomes more unreliable, you can create more power security and save money by storing solar energy for nighttime and emergencies. Join the thousands of solar owners in the Northern Rivers who breeze through blackouts without a flicker.
NSW Solar Battery Rebate
The NSW Government has introduced a new solar battery rebate rolling out in November this year. With 888 Solar Tek, you can get your rebate upfront on any solar battery system installed now, no waiting required!
Double Your Savings
You can also qualify for the federal solar panel rebate, saving you thousands on any new solar and battery system installed this year. Already have solar? You can still get both rebates by adding more panels and a battery.
How It Works
1. Free Consultation: We analyze your energy usage and design a custom solar and battery solution for your home.
2. Rebate Calculation: We calculate the solar rebates and provide a discounted price for your solar battery installation.
Why Batteries are Essential
- Energy Storage: Store solar energy to use day and night, reducing your energy usage to almost zero.
- Avoid Grid Fees: New pricing measures and fees for sending solar to the grid make batteries a smart investment.
- Rising Electricity Costs: Solar panels alone no longer reduce your bills significantly without a battery.
