Battery Incentives
Save money on your electricity bills with the new Peak Demand Reduction Scheme from the NSW Government. Get in touch today to see how you can save on up-front installation costs for residential and commercial battery installations.
New Solar Battery Incentives
New battery incentives will be available from 1 November 2024.
Homes and businesses with rooftop solar will soon be able to take advantage of Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS) incentives to install battery storage and connect to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP). These incentives will help homes and businesses maximise the use of the solar energy they generate and cut the cost of electricity bills.
Installing more batteries across NSW will help make the grid more reliable and stable while also reducing our reliance on fossil fuels during periods of peak demand. This will help reduce NSW’s emissions by 70% by 2035 and achieve net-zero by 2050.
Am I eligible?
To be eligible to participate in the PDRS scheme you must satisfy the following:
- Your Household or business must be located in NSW.
- You can reduce your peak demand for electricity during summer afternoons and evenings.
- You can provide evidence of your peak demand reduction capacity through accredited certificate providers (ACPs).
If you’re unsure if you meet these criteria, feel free to give us a call for advice.
Incentives Available from 1 November 2024
If you’re eligible, you could access incentives:
- between $1600 to $2400 off the up-front installation costs of a battery for homes and businesses with existing solar, depending on the size of the battery
- between $250 to $400 for connecting your household or business battery to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP). This incentive is available twice, a minimum of 3 years apart.
For homes and businesses without solar, the incentive can be priced into a quote for a new solar and battery system installation.
