Author: https://www.miragenews.com/ Date Posted:4 December 2020
The Andrews Labor Government has launched a new grants fund to support Victoria’s large energy users to transform the way they use energy, lowering costs and reducing emissions.
As a part of the Victorian Budget’s 2020/21 $1.6 billion clean energy investment, the $31 million Business Recovery Energy Efficiency Fund will help Victorian businesses fast-track investments that create more efficient production lines and improve their competitiveness.
This new fund will lower operating costs for businesses while creating jobs and reducing emissions as part of Victoria’s clean energy transition. The grants are open to medium and large energy using industrial and commercial businesses.
Applications for the fund are now open, with two types of grants available – Capital Works and Energy Demand Management. Phase 1 applications for the grants close on 31 December 2020, and phase 2 applications close on 31 January 2021.
Capital Works grants will assist Victoria’s largest energy users to install energy saving equipment and encourage investment in projects that create jobs and support key supply chains.
