Join hundreds of NSWers installers already earning rebates on every eligible job.
The NSW Energy Savings Scheme (ESS) and Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS) provide financial incentives for energy-efficient upgrades installed across New South Wales. As an Accredited Certificate Provider (ACP), Electric Future makes it simple for installers to unlock these incentives across air conditioning, heat pumps, solar, batteries, lighting, and more.
By applying VEU incentives upfront, you can offer customers significant discounts on their installations—making you more competitive and closing more jobs faster.
Earn rebate income on top of your standard installation fees. Rebates range from hundreds to thousands of dollars depending on the upgrade type and size.
Electric Future handles 100% of the certificate creation, compliance validation, regulatory submissions, and payment processing. You just install and submit basic details through our app.
The NSW Energy Savings Scheme (ESS) is a NSW Government initiative designed to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging the installation of energy-efficient equipment across residential, commercial, and industrial settings. The program runs until 2025 and is expected to be extended.
Alongside the ESS, the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS) targets reductions in peak electricity demand during summer, helping to reduce pressure on the electricity grid and lower costs for all NSW energy users.
Here’s how it works: when you install eligible energy-efficient products in NSW homes or businesses, Energy Savings Certificates (ESCs) and Peak Reduction Certificates (PRCs) are created. These certificates represent verified energy savings and peak demand reductions under the schemes. The certificates have monetary value and are traded in the ESC/PRC market. Electric Future, as an Accredited Certificate Provider, manages this entire process on your behalf.
The outcome is simple: your customers receive a lower upfront cost for their installation, and you gain a stronger, more competitive offering—plus direct rebate income that boosts your profit on every eligible job.
We help NSW installation businesses unlock ESS and PDRS incentives across a comprehensive range of energy-efficient upgrades.
Earn substantial REPS incentives on reverse-cycle air conditioning installations across residential and small business settings.
Hot water upgrades deliver excellent REPS incentives and help your customers dramatically reduce water heating costs—around 23% of a typical home’s energy use goes to heating water.
One of the most valuable REPS activities—connecting a new or existing battery to an approved Virtual Power Plant. VPP participation is a standout feature of the SA scheme compared to other states.
Our clients see up to 30% more claims submitted per month compared to manual processing, a 95%+ first-submission approval rate, and a significant reduction in time spent on compliance admin — freeing up hours each week to focus on billable work.
Air conditioning, heat pumps, solar, batteries, hot water systems, and more. Use the Electric Future app to confirm product eligibility before you start — so there are no surprises after the install is done.
Open the Electric Future mobile app and complete your claim submission from the job site. The app guides you through each required step and photo for your specific product type. Takes 5–10 minutes. Offline capable — submit later if you’re in a low-coverage area.
Once you’ve submitted, our compliance team validates your claim, processes the required certificates, and lodges everything with the relevant scheme authority. If anything needs clarification, we contact you directly. Payment arrives in your bank account within 7 days of approval.
