Incentives to Replace Old Equipment

The NSW Government is offering financial incentives for upgrading to more energy-efficient equipment to help businesses reduce their power bills. You can access a range of energy savings for your business by upgrading existing appliances and equipment or purchasing new ones.

The Energy Savings Scheme gives businesses access to discounts on a range of products which are listed below. If you click the link, you will be able to find information on how you can access the upgrade and the process that needs to be undertaken. 

• Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems
• Installing a battery
• Hot water and steam systems
• Compressed air systems
• Motors, pumps and fans
• Refrigeration
• Lighting 
• Power systems 

There is also an opportunity for a bundled upgrades, available here.

How the Upgrades Work

The upgrades are undertaken by approved providers throughout NSW. When you contact an approved supplier, they will confirm whether they operate in your location. 

It is important to note that you must engage a supplier before any work begins. Your supplier will then assess whether you are eligible to receive the incentive through the scheme (and there may be a co-payment depending on the model and equipment upgrade). 

You can either:

• work with tradespeople proposed by the approved supplier; or
• work with your own preferred tradespeople that are subcontracted by an approved supplier.

The old equipment will need to be disposed of and recycled by the electrician or plumber. This is to ensure that old, inefficient equipment is not used anywhere else. 

Clubs are strongly encouraged to review this opportunity and, where they can, apply to get the upgrade.
