Sustainability Grants - Businesses

Energising Business

Wellington businesses can get funding for a third of the cost of an energy assessment, and towards investing in the recommended improvements (up to $30,000) through the Government's Energising Business programme. The Council is providing a further top-up grant of 17% of the project cost, up to $1,000.

Any business that spends less than $300,000 a year on energy per site may qualify.

Access to the programme will be managed by a contracted service provider as part of your Energising Business application. The following service providers are operating in Wellington:
