Endeavour Energy and mPrest today announced the expansion of their strategic collaboration to deliver a dynamic market-network approach to energy storage and flexibility, which enables customers, retailers, and networks to work together to maximize the value of local energy resources.
At the heart of this expanded partnership is the broader deployment of mPrest’s Distributed Energy Resource Management System (mDERMS), which enables real-time monitoring and control of Endeavour Energy’s growing fleet of community batteries.
The mDERMS platform enables real-time optimization of both network assets and customer-owned technologies such as rooftop solar and batteries, with advanced visibility, forecasting, and control over local demand, generation, and grid constraints – supporting smarter use of locally generated renewables while enhancing power quality, reliability, and energy flow efficiency.
By providing real-time data access to energy retailers and aggregators, the platform creates opportunities for innovative new products that expand customer choice, flexibility, and engagement to enhance participation in broader energy markets, helping to maximize customers’ use of renewable energy and strengthen grid stability.
Endeavour Energy has already deployed mDERMS to oversee its community microgrid and Virtual Power Plant (VPP) in Bawley Point and Kioloa on the NSW South Coast. This next phase will scale those capabilities to support one of New South Wales’ largest community battery initiatives.
In partnership with the Australian Government, Endeavour Energy is deploying the largest community battery program in NSW and is nearing completion in the rollout of 76 community batteries across 33 suburbs to give households access to more affordable, sustainable energy through shared renewable storage.
The integration of MPrest’s mDERMS solution will mark another significant step toward a smarter, more sustainable energy future for Endeavour Energy customers by supporting innovation and creating more flexibility in local energy markets.
