CHOICE ENERGY PARTNERS WITH EWPA AND TSHA TO HELP MORE BUSINESSES SAVE

Choice Energy joins EWPA during a time of extreme volatility in the National Energy Market resulting in increased electricity costs across the east coast of Australia.

As experts in commercial energy, Choice Energy provide a range of quality energy solutions to help businesses lower their reliance on the grid and reduce their energy costs.

In the first 12 months of partnering with HRIA, Choice Energy helped more than 30 businesses across the network with energy cost reduction strategies.

Choice Energy’s solutions include:

• Energy procurement for small and large businesses (gas and electricity)

• Network tariff and demand assessments

• Power factor correction

• Metering and monitoring, including bill validation

• Commercial solar

Energy Solutions To Help Lower Energy Costs

Now more than ever, businesses are also looking to expert energy procurement and renewable energy solutions to identify energy cost reductions, become more independent from the energy grid and reduce their carbon footprint.

While the energy market has seen some cooling in the last month, commentators suggest electricity costs won’t come down until 2024, and with impending coal station closures, no one really knows by how much.

HAVE YOU CONSIDERED SOLAR FOR YOUR BUSINESS IN THE LAST 5–10 YEARS?

Solar for business has changed dramatically over the last five to 10 years.

With increased competition between providers, improved Government regulations (regulated via the Clean Energy Council) and higher consumer expectations, the value and quality of solar for businesses has never been greater. Some of the enhancements the solar industry has seen over the last few years, include:

• Improvements across technology, particularly with the introduction of optimisers, which allow solar panel systems to overcome previously common issues with underperforming cells or panels.

• Availability of solar rebates to better enable businesses to switch to solar, reducing the required investment.

• In 2020, the Government introduced the limitless Instant Asset Tax Write Off allowing businesses to write off 100% of their investment. However to benefit, systems must be installed and operating by 30 June, 2023.

Choice Energy also aims to make solar cash flow positive or neutral from day one, meaning besides a small deposit, a business won’t need to come up with a separate budget for the investment. Solar has continued to innovate, making modern solutions more effective and cost less. As Australia sees volatility in grid energy costs, solar is a proactive step in protecting yourself from a further pinch.
