SMALL businesses have a new way to access energy efficient technology that will help cut operating costs, thanks to a new initiative by Low Carbon Australia and ASX-listed FlexiGroup.
Low Carbon Australia’s CEO Meg McDonald said the initiative was excellent news for businesses seeking finance for energy efficiency projects in order to remain competitive in the face of rising energy costs.
“This partnership with FlexiGroup offers lease finance to commercial and industrial businesses wanting to make the move now to join the low carbon economy,” she added.
FlexiGroup CEO John DeLano said the partnership’s Energy Smart Finance program would allow businesses to upgrade to the latest energy efficient technology through lease financing for projects between $3,000 and $100,000.
“Our accredited vendor partners supply a range of green technology assets, from LED lighting to heating and cooling, which will allow businesses to introduce efficiency measures without capital outlay or putting a strain on cash flow.
“For example, by upgrading your traditional office overhead fluorescent T8 tubes to energy saving T5 tubes, you can reduce your lighting energy consumption by 50%, and through leasing, you can start reducing your costs right away,” DeLano said.
