The Australian Government is partnering with Local Governments to deliver the $100 million Community Energy Upgrades Fund (CEUF).
The CEUF is a targeted, competitive grant program that provides co-funding for energy upgrades at existing local government facilities.
It aims to help support Local Governments to make their facilities more energy efficient and lower their greenhouse emissions and energy bills.
The CEUF will have two grant rounds:
- Round 1 will commence by January 2024.
- Round 2 will commence in 2025.
Grants between $25,000 and $2.5 million will be awarded on a merit basis.
Grant guidelines for Round 1 will be published in December 2023.
