The Smart Grid pays you every month

Check your Smart Grid eligibility

What best describes you?*

Five reasons the Smart Grid pays you. Every month. Without fail.

1

Your total bill cost goes down*

A Smart Grid Credit lands on your bill every month. Not a one-off. Not an intro rate that disappears. Every month you're on the Smart Grid, you get paid. That's the whole deal. *Terms & conditions apply.

2

You don't pay for the equipment.

Solar, Battery an EV charger and a Smart Link connecting it all. NRN owns, installs, maintains and replaces it if something goes wrong. Nothing to buy. Nothing to worry about.

3

You don't compare plans, ever.

If another tariff would have cost you less, we top up your Smart Grid Credit so you always come out ahead. Smart Grid Always Lowest Bill. That's a promise.

4

You participate in the Smart Grid.

Your home generates and stores electricity. The Smart Grid pulls that together into one fleet. Energy retailers pay NRN to access it. Your Smart Grid Credit is your cut. You're not a customer of the grid any more, you're part of it.

5

The buy-out price gets lower every month

The longer you host, the lower the buy-out price drops. When you sell your home, NRN settles directly with your solicitor. No loose ends. No surprises at settlement.

How the Smart Grid lands on your bill.

You pay your Smart Grid energy retailer for the electricity you use, from both the grid and the Smart Grid. Your Smart Grid Credit lands on the same bill as its own line item. One bill. Two very different numbers.

Two of our Always promises in action

The monthly Smart Grid Credit, and the annual outcome it adds up to.

1

Always paid.

Always Paying. Every month, your Smart Grid Credit lands on your bill as its own line item. The retailer pays NRN to access the Smart Grid. NRN pays you. It starts from bill one and it doesn't stop while you're on the Smart Grid.

In the example above: $1,080 of Smart Grid Credit/yr.

2

Always Better Off.

Our plans are designed to save you money from day one. If you find a plan that would have cost less, we increase your Smart Grid Credit to make up the difference.

In the example above: $1,080 better off/yr.

What is a hosted Smart Grid?

We'll assess your property for the Smart Grid Credit that meets your household energy use.

Legacy electricity distribution pole and insulators

The electricity system was built in the 1950s.

A handful of big power plants push power hundreds of kilometres down the line into your home.

It got us this far. But a lot has changed.

Power costs more than it used to

The wires need replacing

Suburban rooftops with solar systems

And the cheapest electricity is now being made on suburban rooftops.

A Smart Grid does it differently.

Power gets made in the same places it gets used, not in distant power stations.

It's stored in batteries close to where it's needed.

What makes it smart is connection.

Every home on the Smart Grid has an NRN Smart Link, a small device that sits alongside the solar, battery and EV charger, and talks to the rest of the network. When one house has more power than it needs, another house can use it. When the sun goes down, the batteries are already in the right place.

Less waste.

Fewer wires.

Cheaper energy.

Thousands of homes acting as one system,
instead of thousands of homes acting alone.
