Understanding the Incentives You Get
ESCs (Energy Saving Certificates)
These are awarded when your upgrade results in lower ongoing power consumption. A modern, high-efficiency pool pump uses far less electricity than older models.
PRCs (Peak Reduction Certificates)
Earned when your system reduces energy demand during times of high grid stress for example, on hot afternoons when everyone’s cooling systems are running.
Both types of certificates are part of the NSW government’s energy program and their value is passed on to you through upfront discounts.
