About the household programs

Queenslanders will soon benefit from a $70 million commitment of energy-related programs and initiatives to be delivered under the Queensland Energy and Jobs Plan.

Household Energy Savings Program

The Household Energy Savings Program is a $60 million commitment to provide a series of initiatives to Queensland households that will encourage energy efficiency and advise on appliances and household batteries.

The Climate Smart Energy Savers appliance rebate is the first initiative to be released from this program. Rebates are now available for eligible Queenslanders who replace old appliances with 4 star-rated (or higher) energy-efficient appliances and hot water systems.

Assistance is available for Queenslanders who cannot access or submit a rebate application through the online application portal. Please call 13 QGOV (13 74 68) for assistance.

Enable Grants Program

The Enable Grants Program will provide $10 million to support non-government organisations improve access to energy efficiency advice and devices for households experiencing vulnerability.

Queenslanders experiencing vulnerability and those who have limited engagement with the energy system (e.g. renters) will benefit from this program. It will reduce electricity costs for households, offer more choice and greater energy equity.

This program will be rolled out over two years.
