Australian businesses are about to be hit hard, with the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) approving electricity price hikes of up to 8.4% from 1 July 2025.
"Business troubles are likely to deepen following the (Australian) Energy Regulator's decision to approve electricity price rises of up to 8.4% for business from July 1st 2025." – The Weekend Australian, 15 March 2025.

And it gets worse…

#Government Solar Rebates Are Being Slashed – Act Now or Pay More
On top of rising electricity prices, government solar rebates will drop by 15% from 1 January 2026.
This means:
- Businesses that wait will pay thousands more in upfront costs.
- Every month without solar means higher power bills.
- Locking in solar now secures current incentives and long-term energy savings.
#What This Means for Your Business
Rising electricity prices and decreasing solar rebates create a perfect storm for businesses. Those who delay switching to solar will face:
❌ Higher electricity bills
❌ Reduced government incentives
❌ More reliance on the grid at premium rates
❌ Increased pressure on already stretched budgets
Meanwhile, businesses that invest in solar now will:
✅ Lower their electricity bills and lock in savings
✅ Maximise solar rebates before they decrease
✅ Reduce reliance on the grid and avoid future price hikes
✅ Boost sustainability credentials and improve corporate responsibility

#Time Is Running Out – Businesses Must Act Now
The window to secure maximum solar rebates is closing. Every month without solar means higher costs and lost savings.
💡 Take control now:- Lock in lower electricity costs before rates soar
- Secure maximum government rebates before the 15% reduction
