GridCredits100

It’s simple. During a Grid Credit Event, with the help of a Reposit Box we initiate your battery to discharge and you will be credited at 100c/kWh on your bill.

To receive GridCredits100 you will need a bi-directional interval meter that is net metered.

About to install a solar system and battery storage but not sure whether or not your meter is compatible with GridCredits100?

At your request we will check your meter compatibility. Please include your name, NMI number (if known) and property address.

There are many factors that determine the frequency and length of any Grid Credit Event. Regions with higher Volatility Factors (VFR) historically tend to experience a greater magnitude of each. You can read more on the AEMO website.

High volatility events have been relatively frequent across both South Australia and Queensland coinciding with periods of high demand. The end of 2016 and first quarter of 2017 have been particularly volatile in these markets.

New South Wales and Victoria have experienced a smaller number of potential Grid Credit Events in this period.

How many Grid Credit Events will occur in the future? This is difficult to estimate. However, recent closures of coal fired generators such as Hazelwood in Victoria and higher gas prices are likely to have an impact.

Note, potential Grid Credit Events are based on Diamond Energy’s estimated number of high price events in the National Electricity Market over the defined period.

Diamond Energy has been supplying electricity to residential and small business customers in VIC, NSW, SA and QLD (Energex region) for over five years – providing competitive rates and great service. We offer GridCredits100 to customers that meet eligibility requirements in these regions.

Don’t worry. You will be placed on our competitive offer that corresponds to your tariff and metering configuration.

Your electricity bill will show service to property and usage charges as per usual as well as any GridCredits100 events, feed in credits and any other fees and adjustments as appropriate.

Our rates are so competitive we don’t need to talk about big introductory discounts. Our discounts continue to reward customers for hassle free payment on time and don’t disappear after a short introductory period.
