Choose an energy plan with GreenPower
One of the easiest ways to start your decarbonisation journey is by switching to 100% GreenPower. This means the equivalent amount of electricity from GreenPower-accredited renewable sources is sourced to match 100% of your electricity usage, which will go back into the energy grid. When you join Greener for Business, you’ll unlock an exclusive electricity offer which includes 100% GreenPower at no added cost*.
Consider solar power
We know how important it is for small to medium business owners to make financial decisions that are smart and efficient. Investing in solar allows you to reduce your electricity bills by harnessing energy from the sun during the day, which is when many businesses are typically using the most electricity. And with the development of alternate payment options, businesses now have more flexibility when it comes to purchasing a solar system.
Beyond reducing your overheads, solar is a great way to help your business reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and reach your decarbonisation goals.
You might also be eligible for the Small Business Incentive program. From 1 July 2023 until 30 June 2024, eligible small businesses with an annual turnover of less than $50 million can receive a bonus 20% tax deduction for assets that support electrification and the more efficient use of energy.
Add a battery to your solar setup
If you really want to boost your cleaner energy credentials, and reduce your businesses reliance on the energy grid, it may be worthwhile adding a battery to your solar setup. Batteries capture and store unused energy generated by your solar panels for you to use when the sun isn’t shining – like during the evening. Our Solar Experts can help tailor a solar package to your business’s needs – handling the process end to end.
Electrify your fleet
If your business has a fleet of vehicles, electrifying it is another way you can reduce your emissions and start to decarbonise your business. And with an increasing selection of car models, charging options and financial incentives – now’s a great time to consider EVs for your business.
Origin 360 EV Fleet is the first full-service electric vehicle (EV) fleet management program of its kind in Australia. Discover how our team can help your business save on fleet operation costs, recue emissions and contribute to your organisation’s carbon reduction strategy.
