Sustainability Victoria Energy Assessment Grants now open
By James Moverley, MRA Consulting Group
Sustainability Victoria (SV) has released funding for Victorian businesses to carry out an energy assessment under the new SV Business – Boosting Productivity program.
Boosting Productivity is a $3 million grants program comprising of:
- Energy assessments; and
- Industry capability grants.
An energy assessment can identify and implement energy improvements that, on average, can save more than $50,000 per annum on energy bills.
Grants are available to any Victorian business, with less than 200 full time employees and spending over $20,000 per annum on energy.
Matched funding is available at the following two levels:
| Energy Assessment | Maximum grant available for assessment | SV’s contribution | Closing date |
| Basic | $2,000 | Up to 50% | 28th September 2018 |
| Detailed | $6,000 | Up to 50% | 28th September 2018 |
A further implementation bonus of $3,000 is available to support businesses in implementing the assessor’s recommendations.
MRA is an experienced environmental consultancy that has submitted more than 130 grant applications to date, winning more than $30m in funding for our clients.
