Retailer Energy Productivity Scheme (REPS) Battery / VPP Rebate
Claim up to $2,050 cash back on new battery installations when you join an eligible VPP.
If you connect to an approved VPP in South Australia, you could potentially qualify for a cash rebate of up to $2,050 through the South Australian Government's Retailer Energy Productivity Scheme.
Virtual Power Plants (VPP) are networks of small-scale energy-producing and storage devices, like solar panels and batteries, interconnected to support the electricity grid by sharing energy during peak demand or storing it for future use, all while compensating device owners for their participation.
Origin Loop and Amber are both approved providers in the South Australian Government’s Retailer Energy Productivity Scheme. Upon enrolling and being fully connected to the in the Amber or Origin Loop Virtual Power Plant, you will then need to head to this link to apply for the rebate. Both Origin Loop and Amber Electrics VPP's do not have lock in contracts, so you are not locked in if you decide to revert to a traditional energy provider after receiving the rebates.
If you have a installed home battery and sign up to Origin Loop VPP or the Amber VPP, you could be eligible for a cash rebate of up to $2,050.
The rebates value is dependant on the capacity of your battery and larger batteries receive greater rebates, please visit this link to confirm eligibility and rebate value.
