Enigin Update - Energy Efficiency Popular with Tasmanian Business
ENERGY efficiency is very much on the mind of Tasmanian businesses, as displayed by more than 160 that attended a free workshop to help save energy and reduce costs.
The Business Boost workshop, designed help small and medium Tasmanian businesses learn about and adopt energy efficient methods, was held in 17 locations over the past six weeks, but because there was such a huge demand from enterprises extra sessions were added.
Tasmanian Economic Development Minister, David O’Byrne, said when visiting workshop today: “These energy-efficiency workshops are another practical Government investment, to help businesses save power, save money, grow their profits, and grow jobs.
“We all know market forces are pushing up power prices in Australia and around the world, and it’s important to save power wherever possible.
“For a small business, some cheap and practical measures to save electricity could make a big difference to their bottom-line.
“That helps them employ more Tasmanians, and free-up money for investment.
“The State Government is committed to helping Tasmanians learn about energy efficiency, and find practical ways to save power and money.
“That includes Tasmanian small and medium businesses, who provide the engine-room of our economy.
“In April, Minister McKim and I launched the $30-million Renewable Energy Loan Scheme - to help Tasmanian businesses switch to renewable energy sources, cut power costs, reduce their carbon footprint, and compete in the low-carbon economy,” he said.
Last week Tasmanian Minister for Climate Change, Cassy O’Connor launched their Action Plan to Reduce Emissions, designed to help small business improve their energy efficiency.
O'Byrne concluded: “I’m delighted the workshops have proven so popular and well-attended."
