These initiatives are playing a key role in accelerating Australia’s transition towards a cleaner, more sustainable energy future. **Government Schemes Empowering Businesses & Households** Across the nation, federal and state governments remain committed to fostering renewable energy adoption. Several key programs continue to deliver significant benefits: **Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) Remain A Valuable Incentive** The **STC scheme continues to deliver meaningful upfront savings for solar PV systems under 100 kW**. The certainty and accessibility of the STC scheme provide businesses and households with confidence to invest in renewable energy now, while maximising returns. **Exciting Announcement: Federal Government To Launch Battery STC Rebate** In a major boost for the battery storage sector, the **Federal Government has announced plans to introduce an STC-style rebate for battery storage systems**, providing businesses and households with additional financial incentives to invest in clean energy storage. This initiative is expected to significantly accelerate the uptake of batteries, making it easier for Australians to store their own renewable energy and further reduce reliance on the grid. **Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGCs) Drive Corporate Sustainability** The **LGC market remains a cornerstone of Australia’s clean energy framework**, enabling businesses to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and net zero goals. The ongoing strength of the voluntary LGC market ensures that businesses can continue to secure certificates to support renewable energy purchasing and environmental leadership. **NSW PDRS Continues To Expand Battery Support** In NSW, the **Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS)** is driving increased adoption of **battery storage and demand response technologies**. With recent scheme expansions including more battery options and Virtual Power Plant (VPP) participation, the government is actively encouraging commercial and industrial sectors to integrate battery storage into their operations, improving grid reliability and lowering energy costs. **Victoria’s Ongoing Investment In Clean Energy Programs** The Victorian Government continues to back clean energy with a range of programs supporting **solar and battery adoption for both residential and select commercial sectors**. In particular, the **Solar Victoria programs remain a key enabler for businesses looking to future-proof their operations and reduce energy bills**. **VEECs Supporting Energy Efficiency Leaders** In Victoria, the **Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs)** scheme remains a powerful driver of investment in both energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. The program is helping businesses access additional value from energy upgrades, supporting broader decarbonisation pathways. **Strong Government Commitment Bolsters Industry Confidence** These combined federal and state initiatives are ensuring that the Australian solar and battery market remains robust and resilient. Government leadership is giving both businesses and households confidence to invest in clean energy, with attractive financial returns, enhanced sustainability credentials, and long-term energy security. The market outlook for the remainder of 2025 remains **overwhelmingly positive**, with the current policy landscape providing a stable and supportive environment for continued growth. *Written by The RESINC Team* --- _View the original post at: [https://resinc.com.au/market-update-may-2025-positive-momentum-continues-for-australias-solar-battery-industry/](https://resinc.com.au/market-update-may-2025-positive-momentum-continues-for-australias-solar-battery-industry/)_ _Served as markdown by [Third Audience](https://github.com/third-audience) v3.6.1_ _Generated: 2026-10-10 11:30:42 UTC_
