CHECK YOUR ELIGIBILITYAt Austep, we understand the intricacies of the manufacturing landscape and are committed to your success.
Austep has years of experience successfully securing energy efficiency grants and delivering energy savings for Queensland manufacturers; ranging from large companies such as Golden Circle and McCormick, to SME's as diverse as gelato factories and metal manufacturers.
We first assess whether your business qualifies for the grant. Our team reviews your energy use, industry type, and project scope to confirm eligibility and maximise your chances of securing funding.
CHECK YOUR ELIGIBILITYOur energy experts visit your site to identify savings opportunities. We conduct an audit to assess lighting, heating, cooling, and other areas, ensuring your project aligns with grant criteria.
Based on the audit, we design a tailored energy-saving solution. Our proposal includes technical details, cost estimates, and projected savings, ensuring your project delivers strong returns and meets funding requirements.
We simplify the grant application by guiding you through paperwork, compliance, and submission. With our expertise in winning grants, we help craft a compelling case to secure funding and ensure a smooth approval process.
