Opening Wednesday 24 February: Grants for Motel/Hotel Energy Efficiency Upgrades
Small to medium sized hotels, motels or serviced apartment complexes with 1 to 99 guestrooms may be eligible to apply for a grant up to $25,000 to support energy efficiency upgrades.
The Federal Government is offering $3.14 million in grant funding across Queensland on a first-come, first-served basis for projects including:
- upgrade equipment to reduce energy consumption
- upgrade the building fabric to save energy, such as improving windows, drapes or insulation
- undertake energy management activities and assessments, such as energy audits and engineering feasibility studies for energy efficiency upgrades
- invest in energy monitoring and management systems.
Applicants do not need to make a co-contribution (i.e. you can apply for up to 100% of costs), however you will need to obtain quotes to support your application.
Interested businesses are urged to get their submissions in as quickly as possible as the grant round is expected to be expended quickly.
