Energy management for business
This section is designed for small to medium sized businesses.
Large energy-intensive businesses can find out more in our section on energy management for large energy users.
It makes sense for businesses of all sizes to understand their energy use and costs, and know the options available to reduce them.
See our information on these key steps to reducing your business energy costs:
- Understand your energy bill and energy use to identify potential savings.
- Find the best energy deal and demand management options.
- Optimise and upgrade your appliances and implement better energy efficiency practices.
The Grants and funding section includes information on Australian Government and state and territory government programs that help businesses access finance for energy efficiency improvement projects.
If you are part of the nearly 1 million home-based businesses in Australia, see the Home-based business guide for practical and realistic tips and steps to reduce your energy costs when running a business from home.
