Kerbside Electric Vehicle Charging Trial Across Victoria
The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) has approved a trial to integrate electric vehicle infrastructure into local energy networks.
CitiPower, Powercor, and United Energy (CPU) will install up to 100 kerbside EV chargers, including at least five vehicle-to-grid (V2G) units, across Victoria until mid-2031.
- The $1.2 million pilot will explore how pole-mounted charging can manage voltage stability and relieve network congestion.
- The trial aims to shift demand away from peak periods without impacting customer bills.
Ring-fencing rules exist to prevent monopoly network operators from competing unfairly in emerging markets.
The AER's limited waiver comes with nine strict conditions to preserve competition and ensure public transparency.
Clare Savage, Chair at AER, said the regulator had weighed stakeholder feedback carefully.
