find it particularly attractive. This incentive helps ensure these businesses share in the benefits and
opportunities of the energy transition that’s now underway.
It will support investments that deliver ongoing power bill savings for businesses, while at the same
time helping Australia lower emissions.

deduction being $20,000 per business.
