The Energy Savings Scheme (ESS) provides NSW businesses with financial incentives to invest in projects which will reduce their energy consumption. Incentives are available to install new equipment or modify a current system.
Different equipment and processes are eligible, including but not limited to:
- lighting
- heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems
- motors, fans and pumps
- compressed air systems
- refrigeration
- power systems
- hot water and steam systems
- furnaces.
Any work undertaken must be done in conjunction with a government-approved supplier. These approved suppliers are known as Accredited Certificate Providers (ACP’s).
What?
Incentive payments vary.
Who?
NSW businesses.
Why?
Our aim is to deliver cost effective energy savings. We recently set more ambitious targets to help unlock additional energy efficiency opportunities in NSW. The Energy Savings Scheme has an energy savings target of 9.5% in 2023. This will increase to 13% by 2030.
Increasing the target will help make emissions abatement available at a lower cost to NSW households and business, as well as helping NSW to reduce emissions by 70% by 2035 and achieve net zero by 2050.
