The Sustainable Energy Development Office was established in November 2001 by the State Government to implement the Government of Western Australia’s sustainable energy policy.

The Sustainable Energy Development Office plays a vital role in accelerating the adoption of renewable energy and energy-efficient strategies across all sectors of the community - from business and industry to government and the general public.

By implementing programs that promote and highlight the importance of renewable energy and energy efficiency, the Sustainable Energy Development Office is fostering a sustainable energy industry that contributes to the Western Australian economy and the environment.

Please note that the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage & Arts (DEWHA) is responsible for the Solar Homes and Communities Plan, through which rebates were available for installing household PV systems. This program has now closed, but DEWHA has provided advice that this will be replaced by the Solar Credits Scheme.

The hotline number for DEWHA is 1800 808 571 and the relevant webpage is http://www.environment.gov.au/rebates/index.html .
