About the Green Start Program

GreenStart is to replace Green Loans by mid-November 2010.

Full details of the Green Start program are available on the website of the Department for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency (DCCEE).

On 8 July 2010, the Minister for Climate Change, Energy Efficiency and Water announced the new Green Start program to assist householders to improve their energy efficiency. The program is to be delivered through two separate rounds of competitive grant funding.

Full Program Guidelines and the Application Form for Round 1 have now been released on the Green Start webpage.

Under Round 1 the Green Start program will help households improve the energy efficiency of their homes by providing grants to individuals or organisations to undertake home energy assessments.

Under Round 2 the program will provide grants to individuals or organisations to assist low income and disadvantaged households, including support for implementing projects or actions to reduce energy use.
