Conclusion of the SHCP solar PV rebate Effective 9 June 2009.
Effective 9 June 2009, the Federal Government has ended the solar PV rebate available under the Solar Homes and Communities Plan (SHCP). As a result, unless your rebate application has already been approved, Origin is no longer able to process any solar electricity system sales under the SHCP.
The SHCP will be replaced with the proposed Solar Credits Scheme under the Renewable Energy Target (RET) legislation which is now due to be put before Parliament when it returns from it's winter recess in August 2009.
