How to save on your energy bills in 2022

If you are a resident of South Australia looking to cut your energy bills, the Retailer Energy Productivity Scheme could be the answer you’re looking for.
This energy-saving scheme provides incentives for South Australian households and businesses to save energy, and save on their electricity bills. To understand how the REPS can benefit you, consider the following information about this program.

What is REPS?

The Retailer Energy Productivity Scheme (REPS) is a state government initiative that encourages retailers to help households and businesses save energy and money.

How does it work?

It’s pretty simple: most of us want to save money on our energy bills, but sometimes we don’t know how to do it. The REPS offers a variety of energy-saving incentives to all residents of South Australia through trusted third-party contractors such as Your Energy Saving Solutions (YESS).

The scheme focuses on low-income households; however, the REPS is available to all South Australians. It doesn’t matter if you live alone or with family; whether you have energy-efficient appliances or not, if you’re a homeowner or not – every SA household can access the scheme.

Some REPS activities may, however, be subject to some restrictions. For example, Ceiling Insulation and Hot Water Systems are not available for Public Housing. Similarly, renters will need landlord permission for Ceiling Insulation, Hot Water Systems and Air Conditioning activities. Check for each activity’s terms and conditions to see if your household is eligible.  

Which REPS benefits can be accessed through YESS?

The scheme is designed to help people save money and reduce energy bills by incentivising them with a variety of activities to make their homes more energy-efficient, which will ultimately result in savings on their electricity bills!

At YESS, we provide South Australians with the broadest range of REPS activities for their home and business. YESS offers numerous REPS benefits to help you save energy and money. The best part is that you can access all of them – Keep in mind that there may be some requirements depending on the activity
