The Residential Energy Efficiency Scheme (REES) is designed to assist households achieve greenhouse gas  reductions.  Under the REES, energy retailers with 5,000 or more electricity or gas residential customers will be required to provide incentives for South Australian households to achieve greenhouse gas reductions and potentially lower their energy bills through reduced energy consumption. It does this through establishing obligations to be met by electricity and gas retailers.

The Essential Services Commission is the administrator of the REES. As scheme administrator, the Commission ensures energy retailers comply with the REES. The Commission is also responsible for reporting to the Minister for Energy annually on retailers' progress in achieving the required targets.
