en.Wedoany.com Reported - Electricity distributor Powercor has officially commissioned a community battery in Maldon, Victoria, which will store excess rooftop solar energy from nearby homes and supply power to up to 50 neighboring properties during peak demand periods.

The ground-mounted battery, located on Adair Street, has a capacity of 100kW/290kWh and is adorned with the artwork "Harmony Journey" by local artist Daikota Nelson, which was selected through a community voting process, receiving approximately 300 votes.

The design reflects the deep cultural and environmental connections of Maldon and the Dja Dja Wurrung region.

Andrew Bailey, Head of Network Project Management at Powercor, stated that the installation of the battery is the result of collaboration between Powercor and the Maldon community.

In the Maldon postcode area 3463, over 40% of homes have rooftop solar installations, significantly higher than the Powercor network average of just over 30%.

Powercor will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the battery as part of its network operations.
