Objectives
To support businesses with the cost of hiring a qualified energy auditor to evaluate how gas energy is being used in your process and plant and find cost-effective opportunities to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions.
Eligibility
- New Zealand registered businesses that spend more than $250,000 a year on piped natural gas.
What kind of project is this for?
Our full energy audit support can provide up to 40% of the cost of an energy audit (up to a maximum of $20,000).
Eligible sites can get funding towards a detailed site audit or a system-focused investment-level audit.
- Precision energy audit (Type 3) — A detailed audit of specific subsystems (natural gas), with additional data gathering and measurement to provide a higher level of analysis. These are normally undertaken to support business cases for capital intensive upgrades that require more certainty around implementation costs and savings outcomes.

EECA’s support for gas users
We’ve updated our support for gas-using businesses as part of the government’s new Gas Transition Loan Guarantee Scheme. Participating banks are offering more favourable lending terms for projects by New Zealand-based businesses looking to reduce their use of piped natural gas.
Our updated co-funding focuses on helping businesses to identify opportunities for reducing reliance on gas and get investment ready.
Head to our gas support page for more information about funding opportunities, plus resources and tools to help you take effective action on reducing gas use.
