ESS - NSW Energy Saving Scheme - E-lite Australasia

E-lite are Accredited Certificate Providers (ACP’s)

We are accredited by the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) to undertake energy saving activities under the Energy Saving Scheme: Home (Small Business) Energy Efficiency Retrofits (HEER) PDF.
As ACP’s we are offering to upgrade certain type of lights at your premises.

You will find us listed as ACP’s on the ESS website (look for E-lite Australasia Pty Ltd)

The following is how the scheme works:

You must be under 100MW of electricity consumption per year. We will need a copy of your electricity bill as proof that your average daily consumption is under 273kWh/day.

We change over your 2X T8 (just under 100W) Tube fittings for a 24W LED Panel (70% energy reduction) + recycle all old fittings.

You pay a mandatory co-payment of $33 (incl GST) irrespective of the number of panels lights you have in your establishment.

We claim the cost of the job by selling the energy saving certificates created (by the upgrade at your premises), in the ESC certificate market.

24W LED Panels (PDF) cost up to $75 each un-subsidised, and save you around $41-$52 each per year based off your rate of electricity i.e. 0.25-32 Cents /KWh at 52 hours a week of usage.

There will be an increase in light levels, from quality the quality lighting used – plus a reduction on your electricity bill is assured!

The warranty is for 5 years.

Note: There is a large array of high consumption lights that can be changed under the scheme, however there are some lights which are not eligible. Please contact us with any questions regarding eligibility.

ESS Overview

The Energy Savings Scheme (ESS) reduces energy consumption in NSW by creating financial incentives to invest in energy savings activities

The NSW Energy Efficiency Scheme is a government initiative managed by the Independent Pricing And Regulatory Tribunal (IPART), to reduce the carbon foot print in Australia and save the planet from global warming.

Through this scheme any small to medium size enterprise can substitute high consuming Metal Halide, Mercury Vapour, Halogen or environmentally hazardous florescent lamps at a highly subsidised rate – with LED lighting such as LED High Bays, Tubes and Downlights.

So here’s your chance to protect the environment and reduce your carbon foot print – whilst saving on electricity bills!
