How to Cut Business Power Bills — Ranked by Impact
Most Melbourne businesses have multiple energy-saving levers available. Here they are in order of typical bill impact, with the incentives that accelerate each one.
Commercial Solar — generate your own power
Offsets the most expensive electricity — daytime peak grid consumption at $0.25–$0.40/kWh — replacing it with solar at $0.05–$0.10/kWh over the system life. STCs (under 100kW) or LGCs (100kW+) reduce upfront cost.
LED Lighting Upgrade — cut lighting energy use
Lighting accounts for 20–40% of many commercial electricity bills. LED replaces fluorescent and metal halide with 50–70% lower energy draw. VEU subsidy significantly reduces the upfront cost.
Commercial Battery — eliminate peak demand charges
Peak demand charges (based on your highest 30-minute consumption in the billing period) can make up 30–50% of a business electricity bill. A battery caps peak demand and eliminates this charge. Learn about demand management →
Commercial EV Charging — electrify your fleet
Charge your business fleet from solar-generated electricity rather than fuel. EV running costs are typically 3–5× lower per kilometre than petrol or diesel. DRIVEN rebate up to $3,000/plug for eligible businesses.
Ongoing O&M — protect your investment
A commercial solar system that degrades due to soiling, shading or inverter faults earns less than its rated output every day. Annual O&M keeps the system generating at design capacity. O&M contracts from Supply Solar →
