NSW Battery Incentives:
Unlock the savings with Creditex
On 1st November 2024, the NSW government introduced new incentives for battery installations through the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS). These incentives are now in place, giving installation companies a strong selling point to offer customers meaningful savings on battery systems—reducing energy bills and supporting the shift to cleaner energy.
What is the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS)?
The PDRS rewards energy-efficient solutions that lower demand during peak periods. For every 0.1kW of demand reduction, a Peak Reduction Certificate (PRC) is generated. By installing approved battery systems, installation companies like yours can claim these certificates, making battery installs even more affordable for your customers.
NSW Battery Incentives: What can you get?

incentives
For homeowners or businesses, incentives are calculated based on how much peak demand reduction the battery can offer.
Battery connection to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP)
There are extra incentives if your battery is connected to a VPP. This means the battery can help stabilise the grid during peak times, earning even more savings.
How do you qualify for the NSW Battery Incentives?
Battery size: Between 2kWh and 28kWh. You can install more than one battery if they hit this total.
Clean Energy Coucil Approved: The battery must be on the CEC’s approval list.
Solar System Required: The property needs to have solar or be installing solar at the same time.
VPP connection: For the VPP incentives, the battery must meet additional requirements, like specific warranty conditions and CEC standards.
Why jump on NSW Battery Incentives?
These incentives can help you lower the upfront cost of a battery system for your clients, while also boosting their energy independence. Paired with solar, batteries let them store excess power during peak times, cutting their reliance on the grid and saving money.
By connecting to a VPP, they can claim even more incentives while supporting grid stability during those high-demand periods.
