DEFINITIONS:
Retailer Energy Efficiency Scheme (REES): REES is a SA Government energy efficiency scheme that assists households and businesses to move towards more energy efficient choices. It does so by establishing energy efficiency and audit targets to be met by electricity and gas retailers. The REES is designed to make energy saving improvements more affordable, contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gases and encourage investment and employment in South Australia.
Small Scale Technology Certificates (STC): STC’s are made available through a Federal Government scheme called the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme. The certificates/rebates created are based on location, installation date and amount of displaced MWh the solar or heat pump hot water has over the course of its lifetime (up to 10 years).

Australian Gas Networks (AGN): AGN owns the natural gas distribution network in South Australia. To incentivise customers to connect to the natural gas network they not only offer rebates for converting an appliance (hot water, heating, cooking, BBQ), but they are also offering an additional new connection bonus to help reduce the cost of the initial connection from the meter to the home.

RETICULATED GAS NETWORK: Available for both natural and LPG, reticulated gas is the distribution of gas via a network of pipes, moving gas from a storage location that services a multitude of customers. For example, if there is a meter at the property then you are connected to the mains (reticulated) gas supply.
