Solar energy

Up-to 5 November 2020
The DEBS Buyback Rate will be the same as the current REBS Buyback Rate for your town – including for energy exported from other distributed energy sources like home batteries and vehicle-to-grid electric vehicles. This will allow time for us to complete software and technical upgrades. You can view the REBS buyback rates in the REBS terms and conditions.

From 6 November 2020
The time of export DEBS Buyback Rate will apply for eligible DEBS customers.

That means if you have applied to install or upgrade a renewable energy system and export any power before 6 November 2020 then you will be paid at the existing REBS rate for your town. Any power exported from 6 November 2020 onwards will be at the DEBS rate for your town.
