Retailer Energy Productivity Scheme - REPS
Who is this information for?
The information on this page is for customers with Powershop accounts at addresses in South Australia.
What is REPS?
REPS is a South Australian Government energy productivity scheme that provides incentives for South Australian households and businesses to save energy. The REPS follows on from the Retailer Energy Efficiency Scheme (REES) which ran from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2020.
Powershop is one of the obliged energy retailers that is required to provide REPS services in the current year (REPS runs on calendar year).
Who administers the scheme?
The Essential Services Commission of South Australia (the Commission) administers the REPS in accordance with the Electricity (General) Regulations 2012 and the Gas Regulations 2012. The Commission was established by the Essential Services Commission Act 2002.
The role of the Commission is to ensure obliged energy retailers and third-party providers comply with the requirements of REPS and the REPS Code. The Commission itself does not engage in, provide or perform any REPS activities.
How does the scheme work?
Obliged energy retailers are set annual energy productivity targets. To achieve these targets obliged energy retailers make available to South Australian households and businesses a variety of approved energy productivity activities (REPS activities). Powershop is an obliged retailer in the current year and has an annual energy productivity target to achieve.
