VPP review, 2026
Reposit Power Review
Reposit Power is an Australian technology company that takes a fundamentally different approach to VPPs. Instead of enrolling with a specific retailer, you install a Reposit controller box alongside your battery. Reposit's AI then trades your battery's energy on the wholesale market, earning "GridCredits" whenever prices are high. Because it works with any retailer, you keep your existing electricity plan.

How Reposit Power works
The Reposit controller connects to your battery and solar inverter. Its AI monitors the wholesale electricity market in real time and forecasts price movements using weather data, grid demand patterns, and machine learning. When the AI predicts a price spike, it pre-charges your battery and then exports at the optimal moment. This can happen multiple times a day during volatile periods. The system also optimises your self-consumption, reducing how much you buy from the grid.
Payment structure
Reposit pays in GridCredits, which appear as credits on your electricity bill with your existing retailer. Rates are variable because they're tied to wholesale prices. During extreme demand events (e.g. 40°C+ days), wholesale prices can hit $1/kWh or higher, meaning a single 2-hour event could earn $10 to $20+. On average days, earnings are more modest. Reposit keeps a share of the wholesale revenue (typically around 20%).

Realistic earnings
Top-performing Reposit systems in SA earn $800 to $1,000+ per year, driven by SA's high grid volatility. VIC and NSW systems typically earn $400 to $700/year. Earnings are highly variable and depend on weather extremes, grid outages, and wholesale price spikes. In a mild year with few extreme events, earnings will be at the lower end.
