Who is eligible

Businesses in Alice Springs. Contact us to confirm eligibility.

Where to start

Participation in the Commercial Incentive programs begins with a visit or call the Smart Living Centre. We will walk you through registering with the program, and explain in detail the benefits of participation and the incentives available. Bring along a copy of a recent power bill if possible. You can also download a registration form if visiting us in person is difficult.

Registration will need to be signed-off by the owner, CEO or equivalent person in your organisation. A date for a preliminary walk-through Commercial Energy Survey or consultation will then be arranged. Once your application is approved and the Survey has been conducted, the incentives your organisation is interested in will be initiated.

Visit our commercial incentives page to learn more, in particular the what next? section for useful documents and links.

 
Alice businesses leading the way in solar initiatives
The first business to install a solar power system this year was Alice Springs Helicopters, with a 5kW photovoltaic system installed on their office building on 2 January. The system will cover an estimated 70% of their annual electricity needs, saving them an estimated $1800 per annum in energy costs, and preventing more than 5 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per annum.
