Virtual Battery FAQ
Yes, you can still choose it. However, if you have already purchased a physical battery, we recommend combining an exchange-price electricity package or the Home Package with the Smart Electricity add-on service. If you have not purchased a battery but are a small producer, then the virtual battery package is also a good fit.
No, because you are already benefiting from your investment through your physical battery and the Smart Electricity service, meaning it wouldn’t make sense for you to additionally choose the virtual battery package.
It doesn’t matter what type of meter you have.
