Govt program to help Small Business save $

There must be a catch......

On the 5th  January 2009, the NSW Government announced a new program to help small business cut back its power usage and save money.  The NSW Energy Efficiency for Small Business program provides support in the form of financial rebates and advice on ways in which companies can reduce their power usage.  The program can provide up to $5 000 in funding when applying more energy efficient measures in areas including:

• lighting and heating
• electric motors
• air compressors
• commercial refrigeration.

This Energy Efficiency for Small Business Program is available to businesses that use up to $20,000 in electricity a year.  The program offers:

• financial support for a personalised energy assessment and action plan
• a rebate of up to $5,000 for businesses that use $5,000-$20,000 a year in electricity and $2,000 for businesses that use less than $5,000 a year in electricity.

The rebate is for implementing energy efficiency improvements as outlined in a range of action plans, including:

• Lighting
• heating, ventilation, air-conditioning
• electric motors
• air compressors

The NSW Energy Efficiency for Small Business Program is part of the NSW Government's $150 million Energy Efficiency Strategy, which is designed to help NSW households, government and business save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
