SWITCH ON to Energy Savings!

Do you want to save energy, save money and become an active participant in reducing Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions?

What is the Small Business Climate Change Action Initiative?

The initiative aims to:

• assist business to reduce costs and environmental impacts by identifying opportunities for the management of greenhouse gas emissions and energy use;
• assist the Australian Government to understand small business greenhouse gas emissions and energy use behaviours, and;
• build an ongoing relationship with a cross section of small businesses nationally.

How can I participate?

The Australian Government is inviting 55 small businesses in Perth to take part in stage one of the Small Business Climate Change Action Initiative.

The targeted businesses are those with less than 20 employees who are not part of a chain or franchise and are not home businesses.  The business needs to have 12 months worth of energy bills available.

Deadlines are extremely tight on this exercise with assessments starting 12 May 2008. Hence, it is first come first served.  Be quick!

These businesses will receive a free greenhouse assessment that provides:

• one-on-one expert energy advice;
• an overview of their energy use and key sources of greenhouse gas emissions, and;
• a tailored action plan identifying opportunities for emissions reductions and cost savings.

Information from the program will shape the advice and tools provided to the business world to help fight climate change.

Your assessment will be carried out by Energetics.  Energetics is a specialist energy and environmental management company that has been selected to deliver this Small Business Climate Change Action Initiative on behalf of the Government.

Energetics is currently seeking expressions of interest from small businesses located here in Perth.
