FAQs - Energy Efficiency

Customers that are part way through the installation process of an energy efficiency scheme

Over nine years you will pay the GST exclusive amount that Marlborough District Council pays to the supplier, as well as interest, an administration charge ($140 incl. GST from 1 July 2019) and also the building consent fee (applicable if ratepayers choose to add this fee to the cost of installation) together with GST on all these costs. The current interest rate is 5.5% from 1 July 2024. It is reviewed annually and subject to change.

The Marlborough District Council will charge a “targeted rate” on your regular rates invoice over nine years. The targeted rate amount will appear on your rates assessment in early August each year. If you decide to repay the funding early (ie within nine years) an early repayment fee of $115 incl. GST will be charged.

Your service provider should give you a copy of this form once installation has been completed. Please complete and return this form to your service provider. Your service provider will then forward to Council as part of their completion processes.
