Since the incentive was launched in November, more than 7,800 batteries have been installed in homes and businesses across NSW.
That includes premises in and around Camden:166 installations.
By using the incentive scheme, eligible homeowners and businesses get an upfront discount on the cost of battery installation through installers working with government-accredited suppliers.
The discount amount is related to the size of the battery, meaning larger batteries attract bigger discounts.
For a typical household battery with 13.5 kilowatt-hours of capacity, this is a discount of more than $2000 on average and is available for both new and existing solar systems.
A typical household with an $1850 annual electricity bill can save around $1500 per year by installing solar and a battery.
More than half of the 7,800 installations have taken place outside the Sydney Region.
The scheme has reached more than 90% of all Local Government Areas in NSW, with more than 600 installers taking part across the state.
With more than one-third of NSW homes now equipped with rooftop solar systems, the ability to store this solar energy in batteries for later use offers significant benefits for household budgets and energy reliability.
The household battery incentive is part of the NSW Government’s Peak Demand Reduction Scheme, reducing peak electricity demand in NSW, maintaining grid stability during periods of high electricity demand and reducing the grid’s reliance on fossil fuels.
The NSW Government is delivering cost of living relief through $435M in annual energy bill rebates, $200M to support the roll-out of public EV charging stations and $175M to make energy savings upgrades for 24,000 social housing homes.
