As the world moves towards a more sustainable future, the NSW Government is stepping up to support homeowners and businesses transitioning to renewable energy. Starting from 1 November 2024, new incentives will be available to make battery installations more affordable and accessible than ever before. Here’s everything you need to know about these fantastic opportunities.
Big Savings on Battery Installations
The upfront cost is one of the most significant barriers to adopting battery technology. To help overcome this, the NSW Government is offering substantial discounts on battery installations for those who already have solar panels. Depending on the size of the battery, you could receive $1600 to $2400 off the upfront installation costs.
The NSW Government's New Battery Incentives make it much easier for households and businesses to add battery storage to their existing solar setups, allowing them to store excess energy and reduce reliance on the grid.
Additional Incentives for Virtual Power Plant (VPP) Connections
But the savings don’t stop there. The government is also encouraging the integration of batteries into Virtual Power Plants (VPPs). Connecting your battery to a VPP not only supports the energy grid but also puts more money back in your pocket: $250 to $400 for connecting your household or business battery to a VPP. This incentive can be claimed twice, with at least three years between each claim.
New Solar and Battery System Incentives
If you don't yet have solar panels, the rebates can be factored into a quote for a new solar and battery system installation. This makes it even more attractive to transition to renewable energy.
Why Install a Battery System?
Battery systems allow you to store excess energy generated by your solar panels, reducing your reliance on the grid and lowering your energy costs. By connecting to a VPP, you can also contribute to grid stability during peak demand times, playing a crucial role in supporting a sustainable energy infrastructure.
