Social programs for energy code
The NSW Social Programs for Energy Code sets out how retailers must assist in delivering the Government's energy assistance measures and how to claim reimbursement from the State Government for paying energy rebates & energy account payment assistance (EAPA) vouchers. Retailers need to consult the SPC for details of the requirements.
The code requires retailers to report information on their customers who receive one or more rebates. The Department provides a template for this reporting and publishes summaries of the information it receives from retailers together with other information about the rebates program. The existing reports available include:
- NSW Energy Rebates Report 2017-18 (PDF report and Excel workbook)
- NSW Energy Rebates Report July to December 2018 (PDF report and Excel workbook)
- NSW Energy Rebates July 2018 - Dec 2019 Trend Analysis (Excel workbook)
