The Solar Hot Water Rebate continues
February 22, 2010
Peter Garrett, Minister for the Environment, announced significant changes to the Solar Hot Water Rebate on Friday the 19th February. A new scheme was announced, Renewable Energy Bonus Scheme, for solar hot water and heat pump commencing immediately. Solar hot water rebates will drop from $1600 to $1000 and Heat Pump rebates will go from $1000 to $600 under the new scheme.
The insulation component of the Renewable Energy Bonus Scheme will be delayed until June to ensure all installers are certified. The insulation rebate will reduce from $1200 to $1000. Under the new scheme customers must pay installers up front and claim the rebate once the installation has taken place, like the solar hot water rebate.
Mr Garrett made the statement in his press release that “these changes that we are announcing today will ensure that we continue to help householders and businesses contribute to the important journey to a low carbon economy, dealing with greenhouse gas emissions by taking practical action in the households.”
