Rebates for energy and water efficiency upgrades

The ACTSmart Business Energy and Water Program provides ACT businesses with rebates to help them with the costs of upgrading to more energy-efficient and water-efficient technologies and equipment.

Overview

ACTSmart Business Energy and Water Program provide rebates that help commercial businesses lower running costs by lowering water and energy. This in turn helps the ACT lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Through the program, ACT businesses can claim back 50% (up to $5,000) of spending on energy and water upgrades.

• conduct an overview of energy and water use in your business
• provide a detailed action plan with a strategy for energy and water improvements
