Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES)
One of the key programs is the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES).

The NSW Government offers specific programs aimed at low-income households. The Solar for Low-Income Households initiative provides eligible residents with a free 3kW solar system, significantly reducing electricity bills. For businesses and regional areas, there are grants and incentives under the Regional Community Energy Fund, which supports energy projects that benefit local communities. These initiatives include funding for regional energy hubs, offering resources and expert advice to help manage energy use.
