Territorians living in apartments and units will continue to benefit from cheaper energy through shared rooftop solar with the NT Government extending the successful Solar for Multi Dwellings Grant Scheme for another 18 months to 31 December 2027.

The $2.35 million grant scheme, launched in October 2024 in partnership with the Australian Government, is already helping Territory households slash their power bills.

As at the end of June the scheme has committed more than $450,000 in grants to eligible Territory households.

The scheme has already helped over 200 Territory households to save an average of more than $1 ,500 a year on their energy bills.

This extension will give more Territorians in apartments and units the opportunity to access affordable power.

The initiative is funded through the Australian Government's Community Solar Banks program and managed by the Northern Territory Government.

The scheme supports apartment complexes across the Northern Territory to install shared rooftop solar systems by providing grants of $7,500 per unit, up to a total of 50% of the costs of installation, to eligible body corporates and other multi-dwelling management entities.
