Renewable Energy Rebate Programs
The Queensland Government is committed to fostering greater use of sustainable energy resources and energy efficient technology and products.
The Federal Government, through the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts (DEWHA) funds rebate programs that provide financial assistance to help Queenslanders choose renewable energy alternatives.
