Energy Efficient Communities (EEC) Grant
Improve Energy Efficiency and Reduce Electricity Cost Through Power Factor Correction
If you are in the Food and Beverage Manufacturing business that employs less than 200 people, the Federal Government is currently providing funding for up to $25000 to help businesses improve energy efficiency practices and technologies such as installing a Power Factor Correction Unit. Book a call with our Power Quality Management Specialists to find out more information.
Update 23 February 2022: Please note this grant program is extended until 3 March for Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia businesses that meet the criteria. See business.gov.au for more information.
Why Power Factor Correction?
Reduced cost
Installing a custom-built power factor capacitor bank minimises wasted energy, improves plant efficiency and ultimately saves you money.
Increase electrical system capacity
Get the most out of what you pay for
Inefficient electrical systems tend to use a large quantity of ‘reactive’ power (kVAr), which represents the power lost in the operation of inductive equipment such as electric motors and transformers.
Positive impacts on the environment
Power factor correction makes existing utility electricity more efficient and delivers significant energy reductions, providing considerable environmental benefits.
What is the Energy Efficient Communities (EEC) Grant?
The Energy Efficiency Communities (EEC) Grant provides small-to-medium businesses in the food and beverage manufacturing sector up to $25,000 to improve energy efficiency practices and technologies and better manage energy consumption to reduce their power bills.
The objective of the grant opportunity is to support small and medium sized food and beverage manufacturing enterprises to save energy by:
- replacing existing equipment with more energy efficient equipment
- installing or replacing components to help existing systems run more efficiently
- carrying out energy audits
- monitoring and optimising energy use and emissions
- increasing knowledge of energy efficiency practices, and
- positioning small and medium sized enterprises to adopt future technological advancement in energy consumption.
Power Factor Correction is one of the eligible focus areas for businesses applying for the grant.
Terms and conditions apply. See business.gov.au to apply and the full details of eligibility for funding.

Melbourne University invited Quality Energy to tender for the installation of 26 Low Voltage Power Factor correction Systems at multiple locations around the campus.
After an extensive tender process Quality Energy were awarded the contract to design, manufacture and install 26 low voltage Power Factor Correction Systems throughout Melbourne University’s Carlton campus. These systems were installed at locations identified as running with a poor Power Factor, with systems ranging from 62.5 kVAr through to 400kVAr.
What Our Customer Says
“Melbourne University engaged Quality Energy as the successful applicant of a major tender process for the supply and installation of 27 Power Factor Correction systems as a turn-key project.
