As the final results of the 2025 Australian federal election are confirmed, one question stands out for homeowners, businesses, and industry stakeholders: What impact will this have on solar energy in Australia?
With Anthony Albanese and the Labor Party retaining government following a highly anticipated and closely watched election, it is now clear that the future of energy in Australia will be increasingly defined by sustainability, affordability, and accessibility—cornerstones of Labor’s clean energy agenda.
The Federal Election Outcome
The AEC election results indicate that Labor has secured a strong mandate to continue its leadership, with Anthony Albanese remaining as Prime Minister of Australia. Key electorates, including Dickson and Griffith, were heavily contested, and Jim Chalmers is set to continue as Treasurer.
With extensive coverage from ABC, Sky News, and The Guardian Australia, the election results today confirm a decisive public vote for policies focused on cost-of-living relief, renewable energy investment, and a transition away from fossil fuels.
Labor’s Clean Energy Commitments
In the lead-up to election day 2025, the Labor Party outlined several bold climate and energy policies. With the victory confirmed, the implementation of these initiatives is now expected to proceed at pace.
Highlights include:
-
A national battery rebate scheme offering up to $5,000 per household
-
Continued support for small-scale solar installations
-
Expansion of Virtual Power Plant (VPP) programs across WA and other states
-
Low-interest green loans for solar and battery upgrades
-
Improvements to grid feed-in processes through Synergy and Western Power
This is a significant opportunity for homeowners to take advantage of rebates and energy savings under the newly re-elected Albanese government.
Election Polls Confirm Solar Is a Voter Priority
Throughout the campaign, live election polls and data from Vote Compass Australia 2025 consistently showed that energy policy was among the top three concerns for voters. Australians across all demographics expressed a strong desire for government-backed initiatives that reduce power bills, support the climate, and strengthen local energy independence.
The election results Australia 2025 reaffirm that clean energy is no longer a fringe issue—it is central to national decision-making.
