Overview

NSW residents who are social housing tenants, energy utility hardship customers or who hold an eligible concession card can improve their household energy with the Home Power Savings Program. The home service involves an energy expert visiting your home to do a free energy audit and action plan and to provide you with a range of products and services to help you save energy, water and money.

Key eligibility

To be eligible for the Home Power Savings Program, you must:
