The State Government has announced its Solar Hot Water Rebate program ceased at close of business today. <\/p>\n

Energy Minister Mark McArdle said the rebate was ending as part of the Newman Government’s election commitment to fix the State’s finances and get the state back on track.<\/p>\n

“Applications for the rebate have slowed over the last six months and the cost of delivering the service for a reduced number of applicants can’t be sustained,” Mr McArdle said. <\/p>\n

“By closing the program today, we will save taxpayers up to $10 million.” <\/p>\n

Applicants who have purchased or paid a deposit on a solar hot water system or heat pump before close of business today will have until Friday July 27, 2012 to have their system installed, in order to receive the rebate. <\/p>\n

Applicants who meet all the eligibility criteria and have installed a solar hot water system, or heat pump, must then submit their fully and correctly completed application form, including all supporting documentation, by close of business on Friday, September 28.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
