Cheaper Home Batteries Program

The $2.3 billion Cheaper Home Batteries Program will support Australian households and small businesses with a discount on the cost of installing small-scale battery systems. The program aims to:

• help households to make the most of cheap and clean solar power by storing it for when it is needed
• reduce costs for everyone - not just those who install a battery - because it means less expensive gas power generation, poles and wires.

From 1 July 2025, the program will provide around a 30% discount on the upfront cost of installing eligible small-scale battery systems. The discount will be based on the battery’s usable capacity and will gradually decrease until 2030.
