HOW THE REBATES WORK
Backed by the NSW and Victorian Governments
In NSW, rebates are delivered through NSW Government energy schemes run by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW), with IPART as scheme administrator. In Victoria, discounts come through the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program, administered by the Essential Services Commission. Equinox Environmental works with you to confirm eligibility and lodge the paperwork, so you get the subsidy without the hassle.
