Solar and battery incentives will reduce power bills and harmful emissions

Rewiring Australia < 1 mins read

Rewiring Australia strongly backs the NSW Government’s new incentives to make household batteries more accessible for residents across the state.

From Friday, NSW residents can access a discount when installing a battery in their home or small business with an existing solar system, or have the discount included in a quote for a combined solar system and battery installation.

“Encouraging battery installation is a smart way to reduce energy bills and bring down emissions,” said Rewiring Australia Executive Director Dan Cass.

“The greatest source of household emissions is energy use and households make up a large portion of national emissions. 

“These incentives will allow more households and businesses to reap the benefits of cheap solar power while benefiting the environment and strengthening the reliability of the grid.”

TALENT ALERT: Renewables backed by storage the only pathway to cheaper electricity bills: AEMC

New modelling released today by the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) confirms that renewables backed by storage is the only path to cheaper electricity bills for Australian families and businesses. Delays in building more renewable energy and storage to replace Australia’s unreliable and ageing coal fleet and increased reliance on expensive gas, will make electricity bills more expensive for every Australian, which is also confirmed in the modelling. AEMC’s latest modelling shows: Prices are projected to fall by 5% over the next five years, thanks to the building of renewables, storage and transmission. A one-year delay in wind or transmission…
