Battery Incentives
Unlock the savings with Creditex
The Australian Government has introduced new incentives to encourage the uptake of battery storage across homes and businesses. Electricity storage is one of the most effective ways we can manage our personal energy ecosystem—reducing reliance on the grid, cutting energy bills, and supporting the transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy. These new incentives give installation companies a compelling selling point to offer customers real savings and long-term energy independence.
Battery + VPPs - What You Need To Know!
Effective 1 July 2025, the PDRS BESS1 rebate has been replaced by the Federal Government’s new Cheaper Home Batteries Program (CHBP).
To learn more about the CHBP, visit the Clean Energy Regulator’s website.
Battery system connectivity to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) is now being further incentivised under the updated BESS2 program. Installation companies like yours can claim certificates, helping to reduce the upfront cost of battery installs and VPP connections—making it even more affordable and appealing for your customers.

For homeowners or businesses, incentives are calculated based on how much peak demand reduction the battery can offer.

Clean Energy Coucil Approved: The battery must be on the CEC’s approval list.
