The WA Government’s Battery Rebate and No-interest Loans Scheme is now open, offering eligible households support to install home battery systems and reduce their energy bills. The initiative is part of Western Australia’s broader commitment to transitioning to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.
Under the scheme, Synergy customers can access rebates of up to $5,000, while Horizon Power customers may be eligible for rebates up to $7,500. When paired with rooftop solar, a home battery system could help households save as much as $1,500 per year on electricity costs.
In partnership with the Federal Government, the program is part of a combined effort to scale up access to home energy storage. An estimated 100,000 households across WA are expected to benefit, supported by both the $337 million State scheme and the Federal Government’s $2.3 billion Cheaper Home Batteries program. This coordinated investment will enable around five times as many households to take part compared to the original scope of the WA scheme alone.
To increase affordability, the scheme offers no-interest loans of up to $10,000 for households earning a combined annual income of less than $210,000. Loan terms of up to 10 years will help make battery installation more accessible for a broader range of Western Australians.
Consumers can make applications for rebates and loans through their battery retailer. The application process will be managed by Plenti Pty Ltd, appointed as the Scheme Administrator by the WA Government.
The scheme requires households to join a Virtual Power Plant (VPP), which allows stored electricity to be shared to support the electricity system. This collective energy helps stabilise the grid and delivers wider benefits across the community.
By participating, households not only reduce their own energy costs but also play an active role in building a cleaner, more resilient energy future for Western Australia.
