The Australian Government will be launching a grants programme for small and medium businesses to boost energy efficiency, reduce emissions, and alleviate pressure on energy bills, allotting A$16m for the first round of funding

In a statement, the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water said the grants under the Energy Efficiency Grants for Small and Medium Enterprises programme will range from A$10,000 up to A$25,000 to eligible businesses for monitor energy use, upgrade or replacing equipment that will improve energy efficiency and reduce costs.

The amount can be used for various energy efficiency measures including heat pumps, lighting upgrades, space and water heating improvements and energy monitoring systems.

“The funding will support the uptake of new technologies to improve energy affordability and productivity, benefitting the wider economy and lowering carbon emissions,” the department said.
