The Household Energy Upgrades Fund (HEUF) is a groundbreaking initiative by the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) aimed at making Australian homes more energy-efficient and sustainable. With a whopping $1 billion in funding, the HEUF is set to provide low-cost loans to homeowners looking to upgrade their energy systems. Whether you’re considering solar panels, battery storage, or other energy-saving technologies, this fund is designed to help you make those upgrades without the financial stress.

• Up to 2.24% per annum rate discount for purchasing an eligible solar battery system.

• Up to 2.74% per annum rate discount for purchasing energy-efficient equipment, either with or without a solar battery system.

• An additional 0.60% per annum rate discount when signing up for a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) through Plenti’s GreenConnect point-of-sale platform.

• Extended loan terms up to 15 years, five years longer than typical loans, aligning the repayment period with the life of the equipment and making repayments more affordable.
