The head of Australia's largest power provider, AGL, has recommended making installations of household batteries and smart meters a key plank of the federal government's post-lockdown stimulus response.

| AGL's Brett Redman says batteries and smart meters should be considered for coronavirus stimulus funding. |
AGL chief executive Brett Redman said the company has raised the proposed subsidy package in talks with the Morrison government about areas that could be considered for stimulus funds to "get the economy moving" in the immediate post-lockdown phase.
"The government is doing the right thing by pushing enormous amounts of stimulus through to make sure people can stay engaged with their workforces," Mr Redman said.
"At the right time, government and business will need to turn their attention to defining and then implementing our plans for generating jobs across all sectors and getting the economy back onto a growth path."
