Supporting your business to decarbonise

Making it easier for NSW businesses to accelerate the shift to net zero.

Decarbonising your business can help you achieve long-term benefits, including:  

  • saving money on your energy bills by reducing energy consumption
  • improving operations and productivity while understanding your current carbon emissions impact
  • securing your brand's future and attracting investments
  • becoming a catalyst for change through emissions reduction to help protect our planet for future generations.  

The NSW Government is committed to supporting businesses to decarbonise. We’re investing $22 million to help businesses make simple low-cost improvements and take practical steps to accelerate the shift towards net zero emissions.

This funding is part of the NSW Net Zero Plan Stage 1: 2020-2030 to reduce emissions by 70% by 2035 and achieve net zero by 2050.

Having robust energy data will empower your business to make informed, long-term investment decisions. By taking the appropriate steps, energy metering and monitoring systems can help you reduce your energy costs by 5% to 15%. To learn more about how Tip Top installed submeters and reduced their energy consumption watch our case study.

Our metering and monitoring planning initiative will fund up to $15,000 for suppliers to identify gaps in your metering systems and advise how to improve your systems and cut energy use and costs.  

We’ve also provided financial support through our metering plan implementation grants to help improve your metering, monitoring and energy management. Round 1 of the metering plan implementation grant has provided businesses up to $100,000 each to cover up to 50% of the costs of installing an energy metering and monitoring system.

Electrification of heating systems is one of the most important strategies for decarbonisation. To achieve this, heat pumps are emerging as the key solution.

We’re developing tools to help you identify the technical and economic barriers to electrify heating systems that will be available soon.  

These tools will help you assess the technical feasibility of installing heat pumps for secure and sustainable heating. You can reduce emissions, energy costs and reliance on less efficient technologies.
