Most social housing in NSW was built before minimum energy efficiency standards existed, which means higher bills and homes that are harder to keep comfortable for the tenants who can least afford it. The Social Housing Energy Performance Initiative (SHEPI) is designed to change that. Delivered by the Australian and NSW governments with the social housing sector, it funds practical upgrades such as solar, reverse-cycle air conditioning, heat pump hot water and insulation, helping tenants lower their bills and keep homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
More than 15,000 NSW properties have been upgraded so far, and an expansion will take the total to about 37,500 by 2030. Housing providers choose which properties are upgraded, so the work starts with those ready to plan and deliver.
We help guide you through program planning and delivery, with verification and reporting to make the process as smooth as possible.
