Funding from the NSW Government will help 26 businesses statewide address energy use, reduce their energy bills and drive ongoing improvements in energy productivity.
One of them will be Brisbane Waters Private Hospital at Woy Woy, which will receive almost $40,000 in the first round of the Metering Plan Implementation Grant.
The funding enables businesses to install the technology they need to get a clearer picture of their energy use, unlocking potential energy cost reductions of 5% to 15%.
Metering and monitoring systems provide detailed insights into energy use, allowing businesses to optimise equipment performance, pinpoint inefficiencies and improve overall energy management.
By leveraging this data, businesses can significantly reduce energy consumption leading to substantial savings on energy bills.
The round attracted strong interest from businesses statewide, with grant recipients representing a broad range of sectors, including food production, hospitality, manufacturing, retail, private healthcare, education and sports facilitates.
In total, $1.5M is being invested in the 26 projects across NSW, including the $39,860 grant for Brisbane Waters Private Hospital.
Minister for the Central Coast David Harris said empowering businesses to understand and manage their energy consumption helps them reduce costs and also contributes to the broader goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
“These grants represent a significant investment in the future of NSW businesses and our commitment to a sustainable energy future,” he said.
Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch said the program is essential to supporting businesses to address their power use leading to a reduction in their bills.
“This grant will support Brisbane Waters Private Hospital to adopt practical, low-cost solutions that will not just lower bills, but also accelerate the transition to net-zero emissions,” she said.
