The Western Australian Government could be making it easier for households to take advantage of solar energy storage with the WA Residential Battery Scheme. This initiative, if enacted, offers rebates to help eligible residents invest in home battery systems, reducing reliance on the grid and maximising solar savings.

How the Battery Scheme Could Work

• Up to 100,000 households could be eligible for the WA Residential Battery Scheme.
• The WA Residential Battery Scheme, if enacted, is expected to complement the Federal Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program for a combined rebate of up to $5,000 for Synergy customers and $7,500 for Horizon Power customers.
• This means State-based rebates could now be up to $1,300 for Synergy customers ($130 per kWh of battery capacity) and up to $3,800 for Horizon Power customers ($380 per kWh of battery capacity) before administration fees and charges. In the first year, and with the assistance under the Federal Cheaper Home Batteries program, residents could be eligible to receive up to $5,000 and $7,500 respectively towards the cost of a 10kWh battery installation.
• Households will be required to participate in a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) to be eligible for the Scheme.
• Batteries installed before the commencement of the WA Battery Scheme will not be eligible for a rebate.
