07.01.2022 $, Our local dairy farmers are being encouraged to access grants of up to $20,000 to help them lower t...heir power bills and play their part in helping to reduce Australia’s emissions. From 22 June 2020 dairy farmers across Australia can apply for grants that will support them to make their energy use more efficient and to reduce their power bills through the Government’s Energy Efficient Communities program. Grants of up to $20,000 will be available for a dairy farming business to upgrade equipment to reduce energy consumption, invest in monitoring systems to better manage energy use, and conduct energy audits to investigate other opportunities for energy efficient activities. Energy use is one of the highest overheads in the dairy industry, making up a significant part of a dairy farm's operational costs. The program, which fulfils the Coalition’s election commitment, aims to help dairy farming businesses lower their power bills by becoming more energy efficient. I know this program will be certainly welcome news for a lot of our local dairy farmers and I’m encouraging them all to access the funding which has been made available. Farmers have long been at the forefront of innovation to reduce their cost of doing business and their emissions output, but energy costs remain high for many in our dairy sector, especially when farmers are doing it tough on the back of bushfires and COVID19. The Government’s support will help dairy farmers in their efforts to better manage their energy use while also continuing to play a role in reducing global emissions. The Energy Efficient Communities Program was announced as part of the Government’s Climate Solutions Package in the 2019 Federal Budget. $10 million has been made specifically available for the dairy round. To ensure an equitable distribution across dairying regions, funding will be available in each state in proportion to the number of dairy farms. Grant guidelines and application forms for the dairy round are available at business.gov.au, or by telephone on 13 28 46. Applications will close on 17 August 2020.
