Following on from a first round that delivered $15.5 million to 674 businesses – including more than $185,000 to eight enterprises in the Federal electorate of Fremantle – the Albanese Government is delivering a $41 million second round of Energy Efficiency Grants (EEG) for Small and Medium Enterprises to improve energy efficiency, save on energy bills and lower emissions.

The $10,000 to $25,000 grants can be used to upgrade to more efficient equipment. This includes replacing air conditioners with high efficiency units or gas heating boilers with heat pumps, helping SMEs lower power bills and emissions.

The $41.2 million will be allocated to states and territories in proportion to the national distribution of SMEs.

Applications for the grants opened across Western Australia on Tuesday, 27 February 2024. 

Grants will be awarded on a first come, first-served basis until each jurisdiction’s allocation is exhausted.

SMEs should visit the Energy Efficiency Grants for SMEs program homepage for more details and application instructions.
