What is the REPS Scheme?
The Retailer Energy Productivity Scheme (REPS) is a South Australian Government energy efficiency scheme that helps households and businesses save on energy bills while reducing demand on the electricity grid.
The program sets energy-saving targets for electricity and gas retailers, who must then provide incentives for South Australians to install more efficient appliances and adopt energy-saving solutions.
