Grant Opportunity
Written By Trent Burns

Round 2 of the Federal Government’s Energy Efficiency Grants for SMEs program has been announced.

The program offers grants of between $10,000 - $25,000 for businesses with eligible energy efficiency improvement projects.

This initiative aims to help small and medium-sized businesses with 1 to 199 employees reduce energy usage and costs, thereby contributing to Australia's target of a 43% reduction in 2005 emission levels by 2030.

Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are exhausted in each jurisdiction. The program supports upgrades or replacements of inefficient equipment to improve energy efficiency, manage cost volatility, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Application opening dates have been staggered to reduce strain on the application system.
