Lower power bills could be on the horizon for some of the more than 450,000 small and medium businesses across Queensland that are struggling with the current cost of living crisis after the Queensland Government announced it would expand its appliance cashback scheme.
During the Premier’s CEDA State of the State Address earlier this week, Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced the cost of living measure aimed at small and medium businesses, which includes rebates of up to $12,500 to install energy-efficient equipment.
The $16 million Queensland Business Energy Saving and Transformation (QBEST) program, a vital component of the Queensland Energy and Jobs Plan, is part of a $35 million government initiative dedicated to helping Queensland businesses lower energy usage and power bills.
Eligible Queensland businesses can claim up to $12,500 cashback.
