Endeavour Energy and mPrest will expand their partnership to continue the broader deployment of mPrest’s Distributed Energy Resource Management System (mDERMS), which enables real-time monitoring and control of Endeavour’s growing fleet of community batteries.
The mDERMS platform enables real-time optimisation 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.

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 maximise 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.

Endeavour Energy general manager future grid and asset management Colin Crisafulli said, “Our vision is to lead the transition to smarter, more sustainable energy solutions which provide our customers with greater choices and access to renewable energy options for a more sustainable energy future.
“In partnership with the federal government, we are delivering the largest community battery program in NSW, and this extended partnership with mPrest will further enhance local grid resilience by increasing Customer Energy Resources hosting capacity as well as providing opportunities for retailers and aggregators to desing new products and services for our customers.”
