Victoria

G'Day Victorians! Victoria is practically throwing money at you to go green. No joke – the government and energy retailers want your home running efficiently so badly that they're willing to pay you for it! Your power bills are about to get a whole lot friendlier.

Here's What's Up for Grabs:

🔆 Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme: Free Money From The Sun!

Who doesn't love a good discount? The federal government is basically throwing STCs at you (that's Small-scale Technology Certificates, not a weird disease)!

The infamous “Solar Rebate” is actually a part of this scheme!

Sweet Deals:

• Instant discounts on solar panel installations (we're talking thousands off!).

• Rebates for solar hot water systems and heat pumps too.

• The more renewable energy your system generates, the more certificates you earn.

The scheme runs until 2030, but the value decreases each year – so don't snooze on this one, folks!
