The Small Business Energy Saver program complements the Victorian Government’s Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program. In addition to incentives through the VEU program, this program will deliver $5 million in discounts to the small business sector in Victoria, to make it cheaper to upgrade equipment that is more energy-efficient and costs less to run.
The Small Business Energy Saver Program is being delivered by Sustainability Victoria on behalf of the Victorian Government.
By switching to energy-saving equipment upgrades offered by the Small Business Energy Saver program, businesses can save 15% of the upgraded equipment’s annual energy operational costs. Small business owners can leverage the savings from reduced energy bills to focus on growing their business.
When upgrading to more energy-efficient equipment, the program provides small businesses with a significant discount that in some cases may cover up to 100% of the full equipment and installation cost.
By choosing to upgrade to new energy-saving equipment, businesses will proactively take the next step toward becoming energy-efficient and climate-proofing their work premises.
A sustainable workplace offers employees the comfort of working in a ‘greener’ workspace and these benefits can also trickle down to environmentally conscious customers who know they are visiting a sustainable business.
By making the switch to energy-saving equipment, businesses will contribute toward the Victorian Government’s commitment to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
