Energy Advantage – heavily subsidised energy audits for medium to large sized businesses
Would you like to reduce your energy, raw materials, waste and water costs?
Are you interested in saving money and the environment?
Have you audited your energy usage?
Advitech can provide an energy efficiency audit starting at only 20% of the normal cost, through the NSW Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water’s (DECCW) new Energy Advantage program.
Why Should I Join?
- At an initial cost of only $500, this is an extremely good value sustainability program with DECCW subsidising both energy audits and the Resource Efficiency Module.
- Energy Advantage is specifically targeted for resource efficiency, requiring less management time with faster results than the full Sustainability Advantage (SA) program, plus there is an option to upgrade up to SA at a later date.
- Get access to subsidies on energy audits of up to 80%. For example, a Level 1 energy audit with a normal fee of $10,000 would cost only $2,000 with the 80% subsidy. Including the heavily subsidised Resource Efficiency module, this means a total cost of only $2,500, which provides you with $18,000 worth of sustainability consulting.
- Energy costs have recently increased by 20 - 30% and are expected to rise further over the next two years. An energy audit will identify where and how you can cut your energy costs, usage and carbon footprint.
- Water, waste and raw material costs can also be reduced through participation in the highly successful SA Resource Efficiency module.
- Your nominated company representative will gain assistance from the DECCW appointed expert who will help you to implement the findings of the audit and assist you to make a good return on your investment.
