NSW Government Unveils Consumer Energy Strategy for Affordable, Sustainable Energy

The New South Wales Government has launched the Consumer Energy Strategy: Powering Our People and Communities, aimed at boosting access to solar panels, batteries, and energy-saving technologies. With a $290 million investment, the plan outlines 50 key actions designed to help households and small businesses lower energy bills and reduce emissions.

One major highlight is the Home Energy Saver program, allocating $238.9 million to provide financial assistance to eligible households for upgrading to energy-efficient technologies. Additionally, the strategy introduces home energy ratings, targets for solar and battery uptake, and enhanced safety measures for installations.

By 2035, the state aims for one million households and small businesses to have solar and battery systems, increasing to 1.5 million by 2050. The strategy prioritizes equity, ensuring that even renters and apartment dwellers can access clean, affordable energy.

Industry leaders, such as Energy Networks Australia and Energy Consumers Australia, have praised the strategy for promoting lower costs, a reliable grid, and meaningful emissions reductions.
