The Retailer Energy Productivity Scheme (REPS) is a South Australian Government initiative aimed at improving energy productivity for households, businesses, and the broader energy system.
The initiative 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.
The current REPS obligation thresholds and targets apply from 2021 to 2025. New thresholds and targets must be determined for the second five-year period, which begins on 1 January 2026.
This consultation will determine new productivity targets and obligation thresholds that will support the delivery of energy productivity and energy efficiency benefits for South Australians over the next five-year period.
