Rebates for embedded network residential customers

Bill relief for customers on embedded networks

What is an embedded network?

If you live in a caravan park, retirement village or in other circumstances where your landlord bills you separately for your electricity use from a metered connection, you live on an embedded electricity network.

What help is available?

For 2025, there are three programs that are running to provide embedded network customers with payments to assist with electricity prices.

The three programs are:

Renewable Energy Dividend – this is a once-off payment of $60 from the Tasmanian Government. This is open to any residential connection on an embedded network, there are no concession requirements.
Energy Bill Relief Extensions 2025-26 – this is a once-off payment of $150 from the Australian Government. This is open to any residential connection on an embedded network, there are no concession requirements.
National Energy Bill Relief – this is a two-year partnership between the Australian and State Governments that provides a $250 payment for eligible concession customers. The second payment for this program has been available since 1 July 2024.
