Activity

Policy development

The ANAO could assess the design and delivery of the cheaper home batteries program. The program commenced in July 2025 with a budget of $2.3 billion. In December 2025 the government increased the program budget to $7.2 billion due to higher than expected demand. The audit could consider the advice used during policy development, including any assessment of likely demand.
