Small businesses in NSW can now apply for the NSW Government’s Energy Efficient For Small Business Program.

The program is part of the NSW Government’s $150 million Energy Efficiency Strategy, tailored to help save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The program is available to small businesses which consume up to $20,000 worth of electricity per year or employ 10 employees.

The program offers a subsidised personalised energy assessment and action plan as well as a 50 per cent rebate of up to $5,000 for businesses which use between $5,000 and $20,000 a year in electricity, and $2,000 for businesses that use less than $5,000 a year in electricity.

The rebate is only available for items with a payback period of greater than two years.
