In this paper, we use a case study of Queensland Australia and causal loop modelling, underpinned by qualitative data sourced from extensive interviews with expert stakeholders, to consider how residential battery energy storage deployed at-scale could erode the dominance of the traditional centralized electricity supply model. Understanding and managing the risks associated with this complex, consumer-led transformation will be critical to minimize disruption and achieve effective integration. Residential photovoltaic systems with battery energy storage could help accelerate the transition to a more efficient, secure and reliable electricity supply.
