Applications are open until 13 February 2008 for projects which:
- improve the efficiency of buildings and appliances
- reduce peak electricity demand
- educate to increase the adoption of efficient technologies and practices
- reduce the demand for electricity or water from supply networks - eg, cogeneration, fuel switching, water recycling, stormwater harvesting.
