The Albanese Government’s A$2.3 billion National Battery Booster Program (aka Cheaper Home Batteries) slashes point-of-sale costs by 30% - saving the average homeowner up to A$4,000 on a typical battery system. Additionally, NSW’s Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS) then layers that with a second rebate up to $2,500 - meaning a 15 kWh battery can qualify for up to A$7,500 off at purchase.
Key Benefits of the New Solar Battery Program
Maximum Up-Front Savings
30% off via the National Battery Booster Program reduces battery costs by ~ $5,000 on a 15 kWh solar battery system.
$500/kW instant rebate under PDRS (up to $7,500 on 15 kWh) .
Energy Savings Comparison: With and Without Battery
An Australia household with a 5kW solar system and a 10kWh battery can save up to $2,500 per year on electricity costs based on data obtained from DCCEEW estimate and renew economy.
Ongoing VPP Credits
Earn $250–400 per battery, paid twice over three years, by enrolling in an accredited Virtual Power Plant.
Stronger, Greener Grid
Help NSW reduce summer peak demand, avoid blackouts, and lower wholesale price volatility.
Lower Ongoing Bills
Store daytime solar for use during peak retail rates, unlocking up to $1,000+ in annual savings.
Why The Cheaper Home Batteries Program Matters!
Maximising Solar Savings
With solar feed-in tariffs plummeting to as low as 1 cent per kWh, batteries allow households to self-consume their solar energy and avoid buying power at peak rates—saving up to $1,000+ a year.
Reducing Emissions
Batteries enable households to rely less on fossil-fuel-powered grid electricity in the evenings, cutting carbon emissions and supporting Australia’s climate goals.
Economic Impact
Batteries enable households to rely less on fossil-fuel-powered grid electricity in the evenings, cutting carbon emissions and supporting Australia’s climate goals.
Energy Equity
Targeted subsidies would help renters, low-income households and apartment dwellers access clean energy, making the transition more inclusive.
Grid Resilience
By time-shifting solar energy to evening peaks, home batteries reduce stress on the electricity network and help lower wholesale power prices for all consumers.
UNDERSTANDING PDRS SCHEME
BIES 1 and BIES 2 are part of the Battery Incentive Expansion Scheme (BIES) introduced by the NSW Government under the broader Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS). These incentives aim to encourage more NSW residents to adopt solar battery technology by making installations more affordable.
BIES 1: Provides rebates for new solar battery installations. Eligible homeowners can receive rebates ranging from $1,600 to $2,400 based on the battery’s size and capacity. This initiative lowers the initial cost of energy storage solutions. This makes it easier to use solar energy at home.
BIES 2: Offers additional incentives for households connecting their solar batteries to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP). By joining a VPP, homeowners can earn $250 to $400. This happens when energy from their battery is sold back to the grid during busy times. This incentive is available twice, a minimum of 3 years apart.
Both BIES 1 and BIES 2 make solar battery storage easier for more residents. They also encourage the use of renewable energy in NSW.
