FAQs

NRN (National Renewable Network) builds and operates Australia’s first residential Smart Grid. Our mission is making energy cheaper, cleaner and fairer. Depending on what your home needs, we install a combination of solar, a home battery and an EV charger, always tied together by the NRN Smart Link, on homes across a suburb, and we own and operate that equipment for its full life. You host it, and we pay you every month for hosting it.
