The Program will support eligible small businesses and not-for-profits to invest in energy efficient equipment or improvements to reduce and manage energy use and costs.

A total of $20 million is available in 2024-25 to support South Australian small businesses and not-for-profit organisations, with grants ranging from $2,500 to a maximum of $50,000, per eligible business. Note that all grant amounts exclude GST.

Only one application can be submitted per Australian Business Number (ABN), but one or more eligible activities or equipment can be applied for within the same application, up to the maximum grant value of $50,000.

The government will provide up to 50 per cent matched funding through reimbursement of eligible business expenditure from $5,000 up to $100,000 (excluding GST and inclusive of the business’ financial contribution). Any project expenditure above $100,000 (excluding GST) will not be eligible for grant funding.

For example:

• If you spend $5,000, you may be eligible for a grant of $2,500
• If you spend $100,000 or more, you may be eligible for a grant up to $50,000
• If you spend $120,000, you may be eligible for a grant up to $50,000.
