澳大利亚去年7月推出的家用电池补贴计划正在改变该国能源格局。该计划向居民提供30%的电池系统折扣，激励他们安装家用储能设备[1]。一年多来，这一政策已取得显著成果，超过50万块电池已被安装[1]，帮助将批发电力价格下降了约47%[1]。
澳大利亚已成为全球家用电池装机量的领导者[1]。这一成就得益于该国长期的可再生能源布局——澳大利亚超过三分之一的家庭已安装屋顶太阳能板，居全球领先地位[1]。能源部长克里斯·鲍文指出，"澳大利亚是全球为数不多在全球能源危机中降低批发电价的国家之一"[1]。根据预期，澳大利亚今年有望将家用电池容量翻倍以上[1]，进一步扩大这一优势。
Australia's residential battery installation program has delivered significant results in reshaping the nation's energy market. Since the government introduced a home battery subsidy scheme in July 2025, offering a 30% discount on residential battery systems, more than 500,000 batteries have been installed across the country [1]. This rapid deployment has contributed to a substantial decline in wholesale electricity prices, which have fallen approximately 47% over the past 12 months [1].
The expansion of distributed energy storage has positioned Australia as a global leader in residential battery adoption [1]. Energy Minister Chris Bowen highlighted the achievement, stating that "Australia is one of the few countries in the world to lower wholesale power prices during the global energy crisis" [1]. The nation's strong performance in this sector is partly supported by its existing renewable energy infrastructure—over one-third of Australian households have already installed rooftop solar panels, the highest proportion globally [1]. Looking ahead, Australia is expected to more than double its residential battery capacity this year [1].
