Rebate Information Statement

The REPS is a South Australian Government energy productivity scheme that provides incentives for South Australian households and businesses to save energy.

The objective of the REPS is to ‘improve energy productivity for households, businesses and the broader energy system, with a focus on low-income households. This will reduce energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions.’ The REPS
achieves its objectives through the setting of energy productivity targets (EPTs) to be met by electricity and gas retailers.

Obliged retailers may offer energy productivity activities that are delivered to households and businesses by the obliged retailers and their third-party providers.
Your Energy Saving Solutions Pty Ltd (YESS) is a third-party provider engaged with various obliged retailers to conduct activities that will count towards the retailers’ EPTs.

The following REPS activities can be counted toward an obliged retailer’s EPTs.

APP1A – PURCHASE A HIGH-EFFICIENCY NEW REFRIGERATOR OR REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER

APP1B – PURCHASE A HIGH-EFFICIENCY NEW FREEZER

APP1D – PURCHASE A HIGH-EFFICIENCY NEW CLOTHES DRYER

The higher the efficiency of the new appliance purchased, the greater the rebate available under the above activities.

Each activity may be claimed once per address on eligible appliances.

Eligible appliances have a valid registration with the GEMS regulator at the time of sale and meet the requirements prescribed in the REPS activity specifications.

For more information, visit the Essential Services Commission of South Australia (ESCOSA) website: https://www.escosa.sa.gov.au/industry/reps/overview/reps

The activities are not intended to be offered as part of any sales offer, as eligibility cannot be guaranteed at the time of purchase.

Eligibility of the address and the purchased appliance must be verified by YESS, and successful lodgement of the activity towards the obliged retailer’s REPS target must be processed before any rebate will be paid to the customer.

YESS have no obligation to provide a rebate on the appliance if the REPS claim cannot be successfully lodged.

What Our Customers Have to Say

Big thank you to all at YESS

“I want to say a big thank you to all at Yess who assisted me in ensuring I got the maximum rebate when I recently purchased a new fridge. The service was prompt and outstanding, no questions were unanswered unsatisfactorily and when I called to triple check I had correctly filled out all forms, prompt assistance was given in letting me know I needed to add more info before the cut off date. Again thank you and I will certainly do business with Yess in the future.

Cheers and thanks.”
