Qld Business Energy Saving and Transformation Rebates

The Queensland Business Energy Saving and Transformation Rebates scheme provides rebates to eligible small and medium-sized Qld businesses to install energy-efficient equipment that reduces the energy consumption of the business.

Available Funding

Rebates from $4000 to $12,500 are available for eligible businesses which purchase (and install if required) eligible energy-efficient equipment.

The rebate is 50% of the purchase and installation costs (GST exclusive) of the eligible equipment. For example, if you spent $10,000 (GST inclusive) on eligible equipment, you can claim 50% of the GST exclusive amount ($9,090.90 ex GST) and would receive a rebate payment of $4,545.45.

Eligible Businesses

To be eligible for the Queensland Business Energy Saving and Transformation Rebates scheme, your business must:

Already be operating and have its headquarters in Queensland and be operating from premises in Queensland
hold an Australian Business Number (ABN) and registered for GST
- businesses with multiple locations under 1 ABN can only apply for 1 location
- businesses with multiple locations with different ABNs for each location (e.g. franchise business) may apply for each location
not be a public company within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001
employ at least 2, but no more than 199 full-time (or equivalent) employees (including the business owner)
not have received funding for this equipment under a previous round of this scheme or any other government funding (meaning financial assistance, other than a loan, provided by federal, state, or local government).

Only 1 rebate is available for each eligible business. However, a rebate application can consist of multiple, eligible energy-efficient equipment items, provided the total rebate amount does not exceed $12,500.

The equipment must be from the following list:

energy efficient appliances – 4-star energy rating or better: air conditioner; clothes dryer; clothes washer; computer monitor; dishwasher; heat pump hot water system, if the installation is to replace an electric or gas storage hot water system; electric-boosted solar hot water system, if the installation is to replace an electric storage hot water system; refrigerator or freezer; pool pump; television
