Residential Energy Efficiency Scheme

Helping you become Energy Smart

Origin is working with the South Australian Government on the Residential Energy Efficiency Scheme, to help you save energy and money. This scheme is known as the REES or Energy Smart scheme.

As part of the scheme we will provide you with advice on a range of ways to become more energy efficient. Naturally the more energy efficient your home is the more you can save.

Priority Group Households

In-home energy audits are available free of charge to our Priority Group Households, so that everyone has a chance to become more energy smart.

Priority Group Households are residential premises in South Australia in which a holder of a current concession card issued by the Commonwealth Government resides:

  • Pensioner concession card; or
  • TPI gold repatriation health card; or
  • War widows gold repatriation health card; or
  • Gold repatriation health card (EDA); or
  • Health care card (including a low income health card); or
  • Is a recipient of the South Australian government energy concession or falls within a class of persons who are experiencing hardship determined or approved the ESCOSA.

If you are a priority customer and are interested in having an in-home energy audit please call us on 13GREEN or email us
