Submetering Grants NSW

Up to 50% of incurred costs will be funded in a single payment following the installation of the submeters and submission of the required milestone documentation. Submetering will only be funded for projects at sites that spend over $200,000 per annum on energy bills.


Measuring and monitoring your equipment is essential for reducing your energy use. Submetering can help you understand how much energy your equipment uses so that you can make informed decisions about maintenance and upgrades. It can also help you measure the performance of your energy efficiency project.
