Climate Smart Energy Savers rebate
The Climate Smart Energy Savers appliance rebate is now closed.
More than 72,700 householders upgraded old appliances and hot water systems under our Climate Smart Energy Savers rebate program.
This included:
- 22,232 energy-saving refrigerators
- 9,002 air-conditioners
- 24,020 washing machines
- 4,877 dryers
- 10,996 dishwashers
- 1,604 solar and heat pump hot water systems.
The program offered between $300 and $1,000 cash back on a range of appliances with 4-star energy-efficiency ratings or better.
More than half of the funding provided so far has been paid to low-income households (54%).
The average rebate paid was $440.
Energy savings and reduced carbon emissions
Queenslanders who replaced an appliance through the program are estimated to:
- save $103 a year on electricity bills
- reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 0.27 tonnes of CO2 a year.
Every appliance is a step in the right direction as we aim to reduce our emissions to 75% below 2005 levels by 2035.
This initiative was part of the Queensland Energy and Jobs Plan, helping Queenslanders manage their energy use and bills, and reduce their carbon emissions. It follows other cost-of-living measures such as electricity bill rebates.
Rebates are also available to help you install a home battery system under the battery booster program.
