Important update
The VPP rebate is delivered under the Retailer Energy Productivity Scheme (REPS), which requires energy retailers to meet targets set by the South Australian Department for Energy and Mining.
In 2026, the overall number of rebates available has reduced, while the portion that must go to Priority Group households has increased.
This means some offers, including the VPP rebate, are focused on priority group customers to meet those targets. While this means some VPP customers may not be eligible to apply, it ensures support is directed to those who need it most under the scheme rules.

What is the Virtual Power Plant rebate?
A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) links home batteries together so they can support the electricity grid during times of high demand.
When your battery is connected to an approved VPP, you may be eligible for a cash incentive based on the size of your battery. This incentive recognises the value your battery provides by sharing stored energy when it’s needed most.
These incentives are delivered under the Retailer Energy Productivity Scheme (REPS) and are available to eligible households and small businesses through accredited providers like MAC Trade Services.
