Program Objective 

The objective of the SAEPP is to reduce energy costs to South Australian businesses and have a beneficial impact on the energy market in South Australia.

The SAEPP Has Two Components 

(1) Energy Productivity Audit Grant Program 

Aims to encourage businesses to become more aware about how they use and manage energy within their organisation. The $7.5 million grant program will provide grants to assist undertaking an energy audit to identify real opportunities to get more value from the energy that a business consumes.

– Grants of 75 per cent of the cost of a Level 2 energy audit, up to $15,000, to businesses to engage an external energy auditor to identify energy savings opportunities

(2) Energy Productivity Implementation Grant Program 

Has been established to implement the recommendations of the Energy Productivity Audit Grant or the recommendations of a recently completed energy audit with a preference for projects that provide broader market benefits to South Australia.
