Manufacturing businesses encouraged to apply for grants to save on energy costs
Over $16 million manufacturing efficiency funding available to help businesses save energy and lower expenditure.
Any business with a manufacturing site in NSW can apply, as long as it:
- has an ABN and is registered for GST
- undertakes manufacturing activities (according to the Manufacturing Division of ANZSIC 2006) or cotton ginning.
The funding will help businesses:
- upgrade energy monitoring systems
- replace or retrofit old, inefficient equipment
- install new energy efficient equipment
- improve manufacturing processes.
If you’re successful, you’ll get up to $120,000 in matched funding per site, to implement a project that saves gas or electricity.
The first funding round opens 22 February 2019, and closes 5pm AEST 30 June 2019.
