Installing a commercial battery can be a prudent investment for businesses in NSW looking to manage energy costs and improve energy efficiency. The government of NSW is providing a discount for the commercial-scale batteries. NSW businesses can now access discounts on battery installations through the Batteries for Businesses Incentive, available to businesses with a total battery capacity between 20 kWh and 30 MWh.

How Much Is the Incentive:

This incentive is usually provided as an upfront discount in the quote provided to the businesses for the installation of a new battery at your business. Larger batteries may require different financial arrangements.

After fulfilling the requirements of eligibility, the discount is larger, about 30 to 40 per cent off when installing both a new battery and new solar capacity. On the other hand, the discount will be around 20 to 30 per cent if you install only a battery.

Considering Factors Regarding Discount Amount:

The actual discount available and the final cost of installation depend on several factors, including the installer you choose, the location of the installation, and the range of services provided. Additional costs may vary depending on factors such as travel and transportation, the battery model selected, the design and structure of the building, and the installation margin charged by the installer.

For battery systems ranging from 20 kWh to 200 kWh, a minimum payment is required toward the cost of the battery and installation services. However, no minimum payment applies to battery systems ranging from 200 kWh to 30 MWh.

Who is Eligible:

To receive the discount on batteries, businesses in NSW must meet some requirements as follows:

• The installation of the battery must be between 20kWh and 30MWh in size

• The building must not be residential or a data center.

• Use the discount for the first time

• Obtained required planning approval

How The Incentive Works:

Moreover, the battery must be on the clean energy council’s approved battery list to receive the discount on batteries between 20 kWh and 200 kWh in size. And installed by an installer accredited by Solar Accreditation Australia (SAA).

To be eligible for the discount, batteries between 200 kWh and 30 MWh in capacity must:

• Have been tested and passed all required fire safety standards.

• Be installed by a licensed installer. You can verify that your installer holds a current license through the Service NSW website.
