Energy Audit Grant Scheme
The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) manage an Energy Audit Grant Scheme for energy audits on behalf of the Government.
An energy audit is usually one of the first steps in an energy management programme. It shows how efficiently energy is being used and highlights opportunities for energy cost savings. It can also show ways to improve productivity. Energy audits take a thorough look at particular facilities, processes or technologies.
You can apply for up to half the cost of an energy audit, up to $50,000 for businesses who meet the following criteria:
Annual energy spend of at least $100,000.
Building area must be at least 1,000mē.
Audit carried out by an accredited auditor.
Other points to keep in mind are:
Regardless of the audit cost, grants are limited to 3% of the annual energy bill.
Can only apply for an energy audit grant every three years.
Auditors must be accredited by the Energy Management Association of New Zealand (EMANZ) or a similar recognised body.
Energy audits must be equivalent to Level Two (for an audit of the whole facility) or Level Three (for an audit of particular parts of a facility, process or technology) audits, and is in accordance with the standard AS/NZS 3598:2000: Energy Audits.
