Our organisations welcome the Government’s announcement of the Small Business Energy Incentive as a means to improve energy performance and reduce emissions from small businesses. Small businesses currently face rapidly escalating energy costs, and improved energy performance through energy efficiency and electrification are the best ways to help businesses tackle rising energy bills and drive down emissions.

The purpose of this submission is to urge the Government to extend the timeframe for the Incentive to apply until at least 30 June 2025. Without an extended timeline, the Incentive risks failing to achieve its objectives.
