This bill would make home batteries eligible for financial incentives under the Small-Scale Renewable Energy Scheme.
Home batteries would earn small-scale technology certificates, which liable electricity retailers must buy and surrender to the Clean Energy Regulator.
The scheme requires home batteries to be installed by 2030, and certificates can be created for a 15-year deeming period until 2041.
- Adds home batteries as an eligible technology for creating small-scale technology certificates.
- Extends the existing certificate creation and transfer system to home batteries.
- Requires a review of the scheme by the Minister, with a final report due by 1 January 2029.
Households and small businesses that install home batteries.
