The Energy Saver Scheme enables the creation of tradable carbon abatement certificates to incentivise the installation of a range of emissions-reducing equipment.
Projects must follow a set methodology and certificates can be verified and claimed by Accredited parties who manage projects - from start to finish - on behalf of building and business owners.

This scheme:
- contributes to project costs by providing a rebate on activities undertaken
- provides opportunity for an immediate rebate (deemed method) on simple projects or annualised rebates for more complex projects where a number of cumulative energy efficiency activities are undertaken (metered baseline)
|
|
- requires initial investment funds which are then partially rebated, either within three months of project acceptance to IPART (deemed method) or annually (metered baseline) dependent on methodology selected
- combines well with other finance options to improve the cost effectiveness of projects
