The Australian Government is expanding the Cheaper Home Batteries Program from original estimates of $2.3 billion to an estimated $7.2 billion over the next 4 years. This is expected
This comprehensive subsidy initiative is designed to support the installation of energy storage systems in homes, allowing Australians to store solar energy, reduce reliance on the grid,
With a $2.3 billion commitment, this program aims to make battery storage more accessible to millions of Australians by providing a 30% discount on upfront costs.
Federal Energy Minister Chris Bowen has announced big changes to the government''s battery subsidy scheme amid claims most of its $2.3 billion budget has been spent in just six months.
Under the new policy, eligible households and small businesses installing solar battery systems can access federal rebates from 1 July 2025. For example, a 6 kWh system could receive
Discover how the new home battery rebate in Australia offers up to AUD 370 per kWh in subsidies, making energy storage more affordable for homes and small businesses.
This new funding will include adjustments (subject to Regulations being made) from 1 May 2026. This ensures the discount remains appropriate for small, medium and larger battery
Spearheaded by the Smart Energy Council and supported by a range of experts and industry stakeholders, the initiative aims to reduce the upfront cost of home batteries, enabling more
If more Australian homes have batteries, they won''t be drawing power from the grid at those critical moments, leading to lower peak prices across the entire market.
In a landmark move to bolster Australia''s renewable energy transition, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has unveiled a A$2.3 billion initiative aimed at assisting homeowners in acquiring
