The Department for Energy and Mining (DEM) has begun consultation on the next phase of the Retailer Energy Productivity Scheme (REPS).

REPS is an initiative that supports households and businesses to reduce their energy costs while also maximising the benefits to our power system to deliver a smarter, more affordable, reliable and sustainable energy future for all South Australians.

Under the scheme, energy retailers have productivity targets to meet, which can be achieved by delivering eligible energy productivity activities to homes and businesses. There are 31 eligible productivity activities under the REPS that retailers can choose to provide, including incentives such lighting upgrades, glazing and heating and cooling efficiencies.

The scheme’s current obligation thresholds and productivity targets apply from 2021 to 2025. This consultation will support the determination of new thresholds and targets for the second five-year period, which begins on 1 January 2026 and will be in place until 31 December 2029.
