Battery Rebates

Join WA's only independent VPP! 

To access the WA Battery Rebate, batteries must be connected to an accredited Virtual Power Plant. As WA's only accredited independent VPP provider, we pay you more for your energy, so you're always better off. You receive 3x your energy costs (tariff) for energy exported from your battery to the grid during a VPP event. This is a minimum payment of 94c/kWh (unit).  

Being part of Plico's VPP means you can make a positive impact on the community, the grid and the planet - as well as your hip pocket! Our VPP will send excess energy from your battery to the grid when it's needed most; to prevent blackouts and grid emergencies. This won't happen often, but when it does, you'll know that you are contributing to something bigger. 

We have the largest network of solar battery owners earning money for their energy – and we want you to be part of it!

What is the WA Battery Rebate? 

The Residential Battery Scheme aims to make solar batteries more affordable for WA families. It's set to be the most generous battery rebate in Australia and means you could have the battery you've always wanted, for a fraction of the cost. 

The $387 million package includes one-off rebates of up to $1300* for Synergy customers and up to $3800* for Horizon customers. There are also means-tested interest-free loans of up to $10,000* for households earning less than $210,000/year.

The rebate allows for a minimum battery size of 5 kWh up to 10 kWh and includes new, additional and replacement solar batteries*. The rebate will be applied at $130 per kilowatt hour (kWh) for Synergy customers.

To be eligible, batteries must be connected to a Virtual Power Plant and meet Australian and local grid standards. Plico has the only independent VPP approved for the WA rebate.

Plico in the news

What solar rebates are available in WA? 

The solar rebates in Western Australia vary based on factors such as the size of the system you install and where you live. This impacts the number of STCs you’re eligible for (and therefore the total amount). Read this article how solar rebates work in WA to find out exactly how STCs are calculated. If you’re not up to speed on STCs then don’t worry – all STCs are handled by Plico and the credit is factored into your low weekly instalment.  All you have to do is, on the day of installation, sign your STCs over to the local installer and we will do everything else from there. 

In Australia, the government solar rebate is set to conclude by 2030, after which rebates will be unavailable.
