Australia’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program has surpassed 100,000 installations, with households and small businesses now benefiting from subsidised battery installations totalling 2GWh of distributed energy storage capacity.

Australia’s Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, has increased the country’s emissions reduction target for 2035 to a range of 62% to 70%.

Tim Buckley of Climate Energy Finance believes the Australian government’s new home BESS subsidy scheme will make it a ‘red-hot market’.

Delivering on its 2025 election pledge, Australia’s Labor government has announced it will introduce the Cheaper Home Batteries Program from 1 July 2025.

The Labor Party, led by Anthony Albanese, has secured a landslide victory in the 2025 Australian federal election.
