Residential battery rebates
198. Ms Sandra Brewer to
the Minister for Energy and Decarbonisation:
I
refer to the minister's announcement on 3 June that the state government will
offer residential battery rebates of $1,300 for Synergy customers and $3,800
for Horizon Power customers.

that the state government rebates are less than what was promised by Labor at
the state election?

(1)–(2) I am happy to
answer the question from the shadow Treasurer. The Cook Labor government and
the Premier committed to delivering a $5,000 rebate for batteries, a $50
million package to support the battery manufacturing industry in WA, and a
total package of $38 4 million to include a no-interest
loan scheme. That is exactly what we are
delivering. We are delivering $5,000 rebates, a no-interest loan scheme and a
$50 million package to support the battery manufacturing sector.
