Energy Masters is being led by SA Power Networks. The project brings together a unique group of industry partners who are leading the way in energy, including the Government of South Australia, retailers and technology innovators.

Participating customers will have access to appliance subsidies, simple retail offers, and a smart home energy management system to optimise their home energy use and devices such as solar panels, batteries, electric vehicle chargers, heat pump hot water systems and split-system air-conditioning which can respond to network and market signals.

In return, households will participate in a research program led by RACE for 2030 that will help demonstrate the value of energy-smart households and provide valuable information about device interoperability to inform the development of national standards.

Demand-side flexibility technology enables customers to better optimise their in-home energy use, while supporting the needs of the grid at certain times. This helps reduce the amount of additional generation, network and storage capacity needed to meet growing energy demands, benefitting all South Australians.

Recruitment of 500 households to participate in the pilot will be led by the Government of South Australia. A public Energy Masters website will be launched soon with more information about eligibility and how to apply.
