Massive Power Price Hike for Businesses – Effective 1 July 2025

Electricity Prices for Businesses Set to Soar – How to Avoid Paying More

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.

This is NOT a small increase. Businesses across Australia will see higher operating costs, with no relief in sight.

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
  • Future-proof your business against rising energy prices
