Small Businesses on Embedded Networks – Rebates for 2024-25

To provide energy bill relief to small businesses, the Tasmanian Government is offering a fixed, one-time payment of $625 for eligible small businesses through the Small Businesses on Embedded Networks – Rebates for 2024-25 Program. 
This rebate consists of the $300 Tasmanian Government Supercharged Renewable Energy Dividend and the $325 Australian Government Energy Bill Relief Extension Rebate.

Eligibility

To be eligible for this program, you must:

1. Be a small business electricity customer who consumes less than 150MWh per year and have evidence of this on an invoice.
2. Be able to demonstrate that you are on a metered supply of electricity in an embedded network.

Embedded network customers are businesses that receive their electricity from an entity such as an embedded network operator, landlord or building owner. This entity purchases electricity from an energy retailer (such as Aurora Energy) and on-sells this electricity to their business tenants through an individually metered connection. Examples of these include:

• shops in a shopping centre
• businesses operating within airports
• tenants in managed office accommodation
• leaseholders at a business estate/industrial parks.

Small businesses and residential customers that receive their energy through a retailer such as Aurora Energy are not eligible for this program. These customers will automatically receive their dividend via their retailer.

For information on the full range of energy bill relief offered by the Tasmanian Government, please refer to the ReCFIT website.
