Generator Grants

Grants for families and businesses to purchase a power generator

Grants of up to $500 for affected households and $4,000 grants for affected businesses and primary produces cut off from power during the 2022 River Murray Flood.

The funding will be available for households and businesses that receive notification from SA Power Networks (SAPN) that they will lose their power and purchase a power generator to enable them to safely remain at their property during the flood event.

This will help households in affected areas to keep up-to-date with daily announcements, maintain food safety, and stay safe by keeping the lights on, while businesses can continue their operations and keep business-critical infrastructure switched on.

To be eligible for this grant, households and businesses will need:

  • to show a notice* from SA Power Networks indicating the interruption of power
  • a tax receipt for the purchase of a suitable power generator
  • to provide a current Australian Business Number (ABN) if claiming for a business.

*This notice could be in the form of a letter, text message, push notification alert, or email. Dates will be verified on payment of the grant.
