Warrnambool City Council has developed the Use Less, Save More Energy Upgrade Guide to help local businesses and commercial property owners reduce energy costs and access available government incentives.
This step-by-step guide explains how to understand your energy bills, conduct an energy audit, and access rebates through the Small-Scale Renewable Energy Scheme and the Victorian Energy Upgrades program.
The guide supports Zero Warrnambool and our goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2040.
Key Highlights:
- How to understand and monitor energy bills
- How to conduct or commission an energy audit
- Solar installation discounts (SRES)
- Victorian Energy Upgrades rebates
- Indicative rebate amounts for heating, cooling, lighting, refrigeration and hot water
- Practical upgrade examples
- Next steps and Council contact support
