Frequently Asked Questions: Australian Capital Territory Batteries

Can I stack ACT incentives with the federal rebate?

ACT residents may access the Sustainable Household Scheme for zero-interest loans alongside the federal Cheaper Home Batteries rebate. This combination significantly reduces both upfront costs and financing burden.

Is ACT electricity already 100% renewable?

Yes, the ACT has achieved 100% renewable electricity through power purchase agreements with wind and solar farms. A home battery still provides value through bill savings, backup power, and VPP participation.

What are typical Canberra battery savings?

Canberra's cold winters and hot summers create strong year-round electricity demand. With time-of-use pricing common, batteries shifting 10kWh daily from peak to off-peak can save $800-1,200 annually.
