We are ready to respond to any impacts from severe weather when it is safe to do so. Gale force winds and floods can cause extensive damage to the electricity network, so be prepared for prolonged power outages. Community safety is our first priority - here are some tips.

Our people power the life of Queenslanders. Now we bring the energy of Queensland in new ways.
Like installing network batteries across the state. To store extra solar for the benefit of all.

Ipswich Neighbourhood Battery Trial
We are connecting up to 30 batteries on our power poles and five ground mounted batteries to the Low Voltage electricity network in Raceview, Goodna, Flinders View, Silkstone, Bellbird Park, and Redbank Plains.
This investment, in partnership with retailer Origin Energy, is advancing our understanding of the benefits and challenges of distribution-connected energy storage.
Origin have developed a trial product offer, which is now available to a limited number of local residents.
If you’re keen to find out more about the trial, please visit Talking Energy (our community engagement website) for more information.
Future community battery rollout
We are connecting both pole top and ground-mounted community batteries to the local electricity network in 12 different communities across Queensland.
As part of this rollout, we’re sharing the ‘battery benefits’ locally with the community through our Community Fund.
We are especially interested in disaster preparedness or other community resilience projects or anything supporting the renewable energy transition, including solar, battery storage, energy literacy and electrification.
If you apply, make sure you let us know you heard about the Community Fund through a ‘community battery promotion’.
