What kind of project was GIDI: Clean Tech hot water heat pumps for?
- The programme offered co-funding for ‘air-to-water’ hot water heat pumps that are used in commercial and industrial buildings to supply hot water for water and space heating.
- Co-funding was available for projects with a total project below $150,000.
- Co-funding was limited to a maximum of 50% of eligible project costs.
- Total heat pump capacity had to be at least 15kW (either a single unit or combination of units).
- The programme was suited to sites that used a minimum of 1,500 litres of water per day and were replacing fossil-fuelled or inefficient electric boilers.
