LED high-/low-bay light approved for ESC certificate generation in NSW
Enlighten’s LED high-/low-bay light range has been approved by Ecovantage for use in commercial lighting upgrade activities.
According to Enlighten Sales Executive David Bird, the news means that a number of completed installations will now be able to generate Energy Savings Certificates (ESCs) to provide a financial rebate.
“We’re fortunate not to be in a position to be reliant on government incentives for lighting upgrade project approvals as we’ve seen massive fluctuation in ESC values over the past two years from highs of $32 to lows of $7.50,” he said.
The Commonwealth Clean Technology Investment Program scheme which encompassed a Food & Foundry industry program and committed $170 million across two rounds of funding was scrapped in the 2014 federal Budget, leaving a number of projects in limbo, particularly solar PV installations.
Enlighten says it will now seek product accreditation under the Victorian VEET scheme via the original equipment manufacturer application channels.
