Sustaining our environment

Energy efficient technologies


The objective of the energy efficient technologies projects is to facilitate the NSW-wide adoption of cost-effective, commercially proven energy efficient technologies. This includes optimising the efficiency of existing equipment or installing new technology.

As part of Energy Saver, these projects will initially target priority NSW sectors, including commercial property, food, beverage and other manufacturing.

The selected technologies have proven commercial application and present the most cost-effective opportunities for sector-wide energy savings. Importantly, the technologies are easily integrated within existing infrastructure.

Current projects

Future projects

  • Sub-metering
  • Multi-gen.

Subsidies available

Specialist Energy Audits

A 70% subsidised Specialist Energy Audit will identify how much money, energy and carbon pollution your company can save by optimising or replacing existing plant and equipment. The Specialist Energy Audit Report will include:

  • detailed descriptions of potential upgrades
  • projected energy savings, supported by calculations
  • capital cost estimates based on quotations
  • calculated payback periods
  • detailed Implemetation Plan
  • detailed Measurement and Verification Plan.

Capital

A limited number of 'early adopter' companies will receive funding up to $20,000 to implement the recommendations of their specialist energy audit. To be eligible, projects must:

  • be identified in an Energy Saver audit
  • have a capital cost of over $100,000
  • have a simple payback of over 2 years
  • have projected energy savings of over 100MWh per annum
  • be completable within 6 months.

Implementation Support

OEH can also provide further engineering or project management support relating to these energy efficiency measures.
