What Is the NSW Battery PRC Scheme?
The NSW Battery PRC Scheme is an exciting new initiative under the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS) that incentivizes the installation of residential and commercial solar battery systems. This scheme is designed to help Sydney and NSW residents store excess solar energy generated by their rooftop solar panels and use it when electricity demand (and costs) are highest.
By participating, you can save up to $2,400 on the cost of installing a battery, depending on the size of the system. Plus, by connecting to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP), you can earn an additional $400 rebate—claimable twice with a minimum three-year gap between claims.
With the scheme now live, Cuthill Electrical Contractors is ready to help you maximize your energy savings and reduce your carbon footprint.
Why Choose a Solar Battery with the NSW Battery PRC Scheme?
For homes and businesses in Sydney and across NSW, pairing your solar system with battery storage can greatly increase your energy efficiency and reduce reliance on the grid. With the NSW Battery PRC Scheme, the benefits include:
- Significantly Lower Energy Bills: Store excess solar energy during the day and use it at night or during peak periods, cutting down on electricity costs.
- Maximized Solar Energy: Instead of wasting surplus energy, you can store it in your battery for use when electricity prices soar.
- Additional VPP Rebates: Earn up to $400 by connecting to a Virtual Power Plant, contributing to grid stability and gaining extra savings.
With Cuthill Electrical Contractors, we ensure that you access all available savings, providing expert installation and advice on maximizing your solar investment.
The Key Benefits of the NSW Battery PRC Scheme
Here’s why the NSW Battery PRC Scheme is a game-changer for solar energy users in Sydney and across NSW:
- Up to $2,400 in Battery Installation Discounts: Save upfront on your battery installation, with larger batteries eligible for bigger rebates.
- $400 for Connecting to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP): Receive this rebate twice, three years apart, by allowing your battery to support the grid during peak demand times.
- Bundled Solar and Battery Installations: If you don’t have solar panels installed yet, you can combine the installation of both solar and battery systems for additional savings.
These discounts are available now, with the team at Cuthill Electrical Contractors ready to guide you through the entire process, from system selection to installation.
How the NSW Battery PRC Scheme Works
The NSW Battery PRC Scheme operates under the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS), where you earn Peak Reduction Certificates (PRCs) based on the energy your battery offsets over its 15-year lifespan. These PRCs are converted into upfront discounts on eligible battery systems.
By working with approved suppliers like Cuthill Electrical Contractors, you receive these discounts directly, ensuring a seamless process and instant savings.
Our experts manage the installation process while ensuring your battery system qualifies for all PRC scheme requirements.
Maximize Savings with Virtual Power Plant (VPP) Incentives
By connecting your battery to a Virtual Power Plant (VPP), you can further boost your energy savings. A VPP aggregates solar batteries to help support the electricity grid during peak demand periods, and in return, you receive an additional $400 rebate.
This rebate is available twice—once during installation and again three years later—making it a lucrative opportunity for homeowners and businesses alike.
When you choose Cuthill Electrical Contractors, we’ll handle the integration with a VPP, ensuring you maximize the available rebates.
