Heard about the “battery revolution” and want to know if it stacks up for your business?

The NSW Office of Environment & Heritage, in partnership with the UNE Business School is running a brand new “Battery Storage for Business” course with expert, impartial trainers to help you answer these questions.

Because OEH are piloting the course in this region, they want your feedback and are offering to waive the course cost (normally $300p.p) for this pilot only.

Businesses that could attend are organisations that

• have a base understanding of their own business energy consumption (how much you pay, what times do you use your energy, demand charges and other)
• Businesses on a commercial tariff (usually over 100 megawatt hours annually)
• Businesses that may have already started to do some energy efficiency or renewable energy projects in house

Please be aware the workshop runs over two half days, which allows time for you to go back and scope possible projects at your business.

Register here.
