Australia is a global leader in clean energy investment, with billions in government funding available for businesses adopting renewable energy, reducing emissions, and building sustainable operations. Programs span solar, battery storage, hydrogen, energy efficiency and grid modernisation — at both state and federal levels.
In Tasmania, tasmania offers a concentrated grant ecosystem with programs administered across stategrowth tasmania, arts tasmania, screen tasmania, events tasmania and the business growth fund.
Open programs
14 totalA Tasmanian Government scheme that supports electricity customers with annual consumption over 150MWh to invest in energy efficiency and electrification opportunities. The scheme provides loan interest subsidies to eligible applicants through once-off grant payments, with applicants taking out commercial loans with lenders of their choice to undertake approved energy efficiency investments.
The DRIVEN Charger Rebate Stream helps licensed automotive dealers and EV repairers install DC smart chargers. The program supports Australia's transition to electric vehicles by reducing infrastructure costs and improving charging availability.
The PowerSmart for Small Business program helps small businesses enhance energy efficiency by offering grants towards professional energy audits. These audits empower businesses to identify when and where energy is consumed most, enabling them to make informed decisions about energy purchasing, reducing overall consumption and lowering operating costs.
The Solar Sunshot Program seeks to accelerate the development of Australia's solar PV supply chains, catalyse clean energy industries, and drive innovation. It helps Australia connect to new global solar supply chains and take advantage of future employment and investment opportunities in this critical growth sector.
The Future Made in Australia Innovation Fund provides up to $1.5 billion in grant funding focusing on renewable energy and low emission technologies critical to Australia's renewable energy transition. Grant funding is available across three priorities: Green Metals ($750 million), Renewable Energy Technology Manufacturing ($200 million initial tranche), and Low Carbon Liquid Fuels ($250 million).
A $400 million funding program supporting industrial decarbonisation solutions including electrification, energy efficiency, low emissions processing, and fuel switching. The program also considers enabling technologies such as energy storage, demand management, and critical infrastructure supporting onsite decarbonisation.
The Advancing Renewables Program supports development, demonstration and pre-commercial deployment projects. It includes opportunities to optimise the transition to renewable electricity, commercialise clean hydrogen and support the transition to low emissions metals.
This program supports projects that accelerate the adoption of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) across Australia. It funds development, demonstration and deployment initiatives that address barriers to ZEV uptake, improve the integration of battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) with the electricity grid and showcase new technologies, business models and use cases.
This program provides primary producers with rebates of up to $10,000 for advice sought about the costs and benefits of accessing carbon credits, auditing requirements, and on-ground actions that are eligible for carbon credits. It helps primary producers navigate the complex carbon farming market and carbon credit opportunities.
This program provides financial benefits to businesses that recycle or re-refine used oil in Australia. It promotes environmentally sustainable oil management and reduces waste through payments based on the volume and type of oil processed.
The National Reconstruction Fund Corporation (NRFC) provides debt finance, equity finance and guarantees for businesses with compelling proposals across seven priority areas including renewables and low emission technologies, enabling capabilities, defence capabilities, transport, value-add in resources, value-add in agriculture/forestry/fisheries, and medical science.
The initiative strengthens Australia's position in the global clean-energy supply chain by supporting projects that enhance domestic capability across key parts of the battery value chain, including active materials production, battery cell manufacturing and battery pack assembly. Funding is provided through capital grants, production incentives or other payments to boost supply-chain resilience, drive innovation and advance emissions-reduction efforts by commercialising new battery technologies and scaling local manufacturing.
A national scheme providing Australian households, businesses and community organisations with a discount of around 30% on the upfront cost of installing small-scale battery systems ranging from 5 kWh to 100 kWh. The program is intended to complement other incentives.
CEFC is Australia's government-owned green bank offering discounted finance for clean energy upgrades through partnerships with lenders. Eligible Tasmanian businesses can access affordable financing for energy-saving assets and technologies including solar, batteries, electric vehicles, energy-efficient equipment, farm machinery, and insulation. The program helps businesses reduce energy costs, emissions, and climate risk.
