NSW Energy Savings Scheme for Businesses

Eligible businesses in NSW can take advantage of the NSW Energy Savings Scheme to upgrade their old, outdated and expensive lighting to LED. This could save your business hundreds, if not thousands of dollars a year!

How does the NSW Energy Savings Scheme for Business Work?

The New South Wales (NSW) Energy Saving Scheme (ESS) for businesses is a government initiative aimed at promoting energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the commercial and industrial sectors.

Under the ESS, your business can install energy-efficient lighting, like LEDs.

Businesses can earn Energy Savings Certificates (ESCs) for implementing energy efficiency improvements, which can be sold to electricity retailers to meet their energy efficiency obligations under the ESS. The sale of ESCs provides a financial incentive for businesses to invest in energy efficiency upgrades and can help to offset the costs of implementing these upgrades.

To utilise the ESS, customers are required to pay a minimum co-payment of $30
(excluding GST), which is non-reimbursable. This payment covers the costs associated with the evaluation of the energy efficiency upgrades and the generation of the corresponding reports. The offer provides considerable long-term financial benefits by reducing energy costs and enhancing energy efficiency for any home or business that participates.

All you pay is a $33 site establishment fee when you are an Eligible Scheme Participant
