WA Election 2025: What the Results Mean for Solar and Battery Rebates in Western Australia
The WA state election 2025 has concluded, with Premier Roger Cook and the Labor Party WA securing another term in government. As Western Australians consider the implications of the WA election results, one key area of focus is the state’s energy policy—particularly solar power, battery rebates, and renewable energy incentives.
At Australis Solar, we closely follow policy changes that impact homeowners and businesses looking to invest in solar and battery storage. Here’s what the WA election 2025 results could mean for the future of solar rebates, battery incentives, and the state’s transition to clean energy.
Labor’s Commitment to Solar and Batteries in WA
With Roger Cook remaining as Premier, WA is expected to continue its renewable energy push, including incentives for solar panel installations and battery storage. In the lead-up to the WA state election, the Labor Party WA reinforced its commitment to reducing energy costs and increasing support for home solar and battery systems.
Labor has previously introduced incentives like:
✅ Solar rebates to encourage homeowners to install solar panels.
✅ Battery storage incentives through schemes like the WA Distributed Energy Buyback Scheme (DEBS).
✅ Funding for Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) to improve energy efficiency.
✅ Investment in large-scale renewable energy projects, reducing reliance on coal and fossil fuels.
With another four years in government, we anticipate continued support for battery rebates and expansion of solar incentives to help Western Australians cut their energy bills.
Will the WA Election 2025 Bring New Solar and Battery Rebates?
A key question following the WA election results 2025 is whether the WA Labor government will introduce new or expanded solar incentives. With rising electricity prices and increased demand for solar battery storage, homeowners are looking for better rebates to help with the cost of installation.
Potential policy shifts that could emerge from the WA election 2025 results include:
🔹 Increased battery rebates—helping more households install battery storage to reduce grid reliance.
🔹 Higher feed-in tariffs—offering better returns for exporting excess solar power.
🔹 More government funding for Virtual Power Plants (VPPs)—allowing households to earn money by sharing stored energy.
🔹 Solar incentives for businesses—encouraging commercial solar uptake to cut operating costs.
With ABC WA election coverage reporting a strong focus on renewables, we expect to see developments in these areas in the coming months.

If you’re considering installing solar panels or adding battery storage to your home, now is the time to act. With the WA state election 2025 results securing another term for Labor, there is optimism that incentives will continue—but rebate schemes can change without notice.
