Recording of - 3 Hours of Free Power: Solar Sharer and other Energy Incentives
Event description
Free Power for 3 Hours a Day?
This event took place on 19 August 2026 - you can purchase the recording to learn about the Solar Sharer Offer and other government incentives.
You’ve probably heard the government speak about the three free hours of power each day - but is it really a good deal? Could it lower your electricity bills, or are there catches you need to understand?
Join us to hear our energy experts unpack this latest electricity offer, Solar Sharer Offer - sometimes promoted as “three hours of free power.” We’ll explain how these plans work, who may benefit and what to consider before changing your electricity plan.
We’ll also explore how smart meters, rooftop solar and home batteries affect the value of these offers, whether they can work for renters and apartment dwellers, and what other government incentives may be available to help you improve your home’s energy efficiency and reduce your bills.
What we’ll cover

Does the SSO help or hinder people with solar and batteries?

If it is not for me what other government offers are there out there?
