New South Wales · Peak Demand Reduction Scheme
A commercial battery in NSW now earns two incentives, not one.
From 7 September 2026 the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme pays tradeable certificates (PRCs) for battery storage on apartment buildings, business sites and large C&I facilities. Below 100 kWh nominal the federal battery rebate stacks on top — one investment, two cheques.
A NSW apartment block, business site or C&I facility. Count the certificates the build actually earns — and see where the rules quietly stop paying. No account needed — every figure is computed from published rules.

The least you can buy and still collect the whole federal rebate.
Certificate counts are calculated from the PDRS (Amendment No. 2) Rule 2026 and the federal battery rebate schedule. PRCs valued at $3.05 and STCs at $38.20 — both are traded prices that move, and both are adjustable in the tool below. Estimates, not quotes.

Estimates only, not a quote or a guarantee of entitlement. PRC and STC prices are traded and move daily; the federal figure shown is for the May–Dec 2026 period. Certificates are created by an Accredited Certificate Provider and the actual amount depends on the installation, the equipment's CEC or UL listing, and the rule as it stands at commissioning. Confirm eligibility before contracting.
