Clean Energy Future Fund
Name of program: Clean Energy Future Fund
What’s the intended outcome?
-
supports the implementation of innovative clean energy projects in Western Australia that offer high public value through the following outcomes:
- significant, cost-effective reduction in greenhouse gas emissions below projected (or baseline) emissions as a direct result of the clean energy project
- design, deployment, testing or demonstration of innovative clean energy projects likely to deliver community benefits or lead to broad adoption and significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
Who’s funding it? Department of Water and Environmental Regulation and Energy Policy WA
What’s available?
- the State Government has invested an additional $18 million to 2030–31 ($11.2 million to 2026–27) to extend the Clean Energy Future Fund.
Conditions?
- The definition of a clean energy project is a project that deploys or applies a technology that reduces greenhouse gas emissions from the production or use of stationary energy. This excludes the use of energy for the purpose of transportation.
- Projects proposing replacement of diesel or coal with gas are likely to have a lower merit score and be less aligned with Ministerial priorities than those replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy.
- Projects that are clearly already in-progress and committed are not eligible.
