The first round of the Metering Plan Implementation Grant has awarded almost $40,000 in funding to support Brisbane Waters Private Hospital in Woy Woy.
This funding enables businesses to install the technology they need to get a clearer picture of their energy use, unlocking potential energy cost reductions of 5% to 15%.
Metering and monitoring systems provide detailed insights into energy use, allowing businesses to optimise equipment performance, pinpoint inefficiencies and improve overall energy management.
By leveraging this data, businesses can significantly reduce energy consumption leading to substantial savings on energy bills.
The round attracted strong interest from businesses statewide, with grant recipients representing a broad range of sectors, including food production, hospitality, manufacturing, retail, private healthcare, education and sports facilitates.
In total, $1.5 million is being invested in 26 projects across NSW, including a $39,860 grant for Brisbane Waters Private Hospital.
The Metering Plan Implementation Grant is part of the NSW Government’s $22 million Business Decarbonisation Program, which supports businesses in adopting practical, cost-effective solutions to accelerate the transition to net-zero emissions.

Minister for the Central Coast David Harris said:
“By empowering businesses to understand and manage their energy consumption, we are not only helping them reduce costs but also contributing to our broader goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
“These grants represent a significant investment in the future of NSW businesses and our commitment to a sustainable energy future.”
Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch said:
“This important program is essential to supporting businesses to address their power use leading to a reduction in their bills. By connecting businesses to innovative technological solutions, the Minns Labor Government is assisting our local businesses to unlock well needed energy savings.
