Up to $100,000 to cover up to 50% of the costs of installing an energy metering and monitoring system. 

Round 2 of the Metering Plan Implementation Grant is an opportunity for eligible NSW businesses to implement comprehensive metering and monitoring solutions, informed by detailed metering and monitoring plans. You can apply for grants between $20,001 and $100,000 to cover up to 50% of project costs.

The Grant helps eligible NSW businesses implement comprehensive metering and monitoring upgrades supported by detailed metering and monitoring plans. This includes:

• costs to install and commission permanent submeters that are required for measuring energy performance
• hardware and integration with software needed to monitor energy use
• first-year subscription to a new data management system
