Have you ever considered how you can save on your electricity bills while contributing to a more sustainable future?

Consumer Energy Resources (CER) might be the answer. These resources include solar panels, battery storage, electric vehicles, and smart home technologies.

Let’s explore how CER can benefit you and the broader energy market, and how Flow Power electricity plans supports this transition.

Why invest in CER?

Consumer Energy Resources are tools that help you generate, store, and manage your own energy. Here’s how they can benefit your household…

Save money

By generating your own electricity with solar panels and storing excess energy for later use in batteries, you can reduce your reliance on the grid when electricity is more expensive.

For our customers, this translates to lower energy bills and even earnings when you export your battery energy to the grid.

Energy independence

CERs provides you with greater control over your energy use. With battery storage, you can store solar energy generated during the day and use it during peak times or at night, reducing your dependence on the grid.

Environmental impact

CERs can help integrate more renewable energy into the grid. By adopting CERs, you can contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Australia. Generating and using renewable energy at home helps decrease the reliance on fossil fuels, supporting Australia’s transition to a cleaner, greener future.

Support grid stability

Diversifying our grid with CERs helps balance supply and demand – reducing the risk of blackouts and enhancing grid stability. Generating and storing your own energy also reduces grid strain during peak demand periods. This helps lower the need for expensive and polluting fossil-fuelled generators, which are typically used to meet peak demand.

Flow Home for CERs

At Flow Power, we understand the importance of supporting the adoption of CERs. That’s why we’ve designed our electricity plan, Flow Home, to reward smarter, greener, energy habits. If you can be flexible with your energy use and CER, you can achieve:

Better rates

For example, drive down the cost of your EV with monthly discounts on your electricity rate when you switch to charging at low-cost, high renewable times.

Better feed-in tariffs

We offer a feed-in tariff that is adjusted each month depending on your export behaviour. The more you export at peak times, the higher your feed-in tariff, and the more you export when spot prices are low, the lower your feed-in tariff.
