The Energy Performance Services Grant provides eligible NSW businesses with up to $50,000 to improve their energy performance through the effective use of submetering data.
The focus areas of this opportunity are support NSW businesses to improve energy performance through enhanced energy data monitoring and analysis, enable long-term monitoring and data-driven insights to support continuous improvement in energy performance and/or progress toward net zero goals, and enhance industry skills and knowledge while growing the market for businesses in supporting functions.
This program is administered by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water and provides financial support across two milestones. The first milestone offers up to $5,000 to cover up to 50% of the cost of specialist consultant services required to assess business needs and develop an energy monitoring and analysis plan. This plan outlines the activities that will be implemented under milestone two. The second milestone offers up to $45,000 to support implementation, including energy monitoring software, analytics platforms, data integration, connectivity and technical guidance.
Eligible applicants must have a current Australian Business Number and be registered for goods and services tax. Projects must be delivered at a NSW site address and the business must have existing metering and monitoring systems, including some established submetering at the system or subsystem level. Applicants must also spend a minimum of $200,000 annually on energy bills or demonstrate equivalent on-site energy use of at least 3,600 gigajoules. The applicant must be the energy bill payer with operational control of the site and authorised to undertake the project activities, with evidence provided where the site owner is different from the applicant.
The grant supports businesses in adopting long-term data-driven energy management practices that enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs and support ongoing progress toward net zero goals. By strengthening monitoring capability and building industry expertise, the program helps create sustained improvements in energy performance across NSW.
