Australian energy-efficiency schemes are designed to make business upgrades cheaper. Depending on your state, your activity and current scheme rules, incentives may help reduce the cost of efficiency upgrades that sit alongside a 4Control deployment. Here's how the main schemes work — and how to confirm what applies to your property.
These are certificate-based schemes: an accredited provider creates tradable certificates for an eligible upgrade, and that value discounts your project. Eligible activities and certificate values change regularly, so treat this as orientation, not a guarantee.
A Victorian Government scheme administered by the Essential Services Commission. Accredited providers create Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates for eligible business upgrades, which discount the cost of the work.
NSW's largest energy-efficiency program. Accredited Certificate Providers create Energy Savings Certificates for eligible activities that reduce energy use, helping cut the upfront cost of installing efficient equipment.
The national mechanism that discounts eligible solar PV and heat-pump hot-water installs. Relevant if you pair room automation with on-site solar or a hot-water upgrade as part of a wider energy plan.
Other states run their own schemes and time-limited grants, and federal grant rounds open and close through the year. The right mix depends on where your property is and what you're upgrading.
The schemes reward upgrades done with an accredited provider, so the path is straightforward once you know which scheme applies.
