Mission
To accelerate Australia’s transition to energy efficient technologies by helping our clients access Government incentives in the most streamlined manner possible.
Our Role in the ecosystem - Helping installers to access cashback when they undertake energy efficient upgrades
On a high-level, this is how the Scheme works:
The installer (our clients) goes to a business or a residency and installs energy efficient products approved by the schemes.
Meanwhile, they collect all the evidence required by the scheme and send it to ACPs like us.
Once we receive the evidence and run our compliance high quality check, we submit the certificates’ claims to the regulator.
Scheme auditors will randomly check some of the jobs and, if everything checks out, the regulator will transfers us the certificates, which we then trade in the market to convert into cash.
Our Principles
We collaborate. We build a genuine partnership with our clients, that attends their specific needs. Knowing our clients so well, we feel confident to present the best opportunities and services for their business, growing together.
We aim for Simplicity and Excellence. Our team of experts always remove complexity from our clients, provide the best solutions and deliver operational excellence.
We are reliable. We are committed to an accurate quote, pay as quick as possible and take all the hassle out of the process.
Brief History
National Carbon Bank of Australia (NCBA) was founded in 2012 to help businesses and organisations realise the maximum savings available to them from state and federal government energy efficiency schemes. These include the NSW Energy Savings Scheme, the Victorian Energy Upgrades Program and the Commonwealth Emissions Reduction Fund.
NCBA extends the benefits available from the above schemes to our customers by working as an independent and transparent facilitator of carbon abatement certificates. At NCBA we communicate and coordinate with our customers, their managers/operators, subcontractors and suppliers to remove the pain from the process, release claims quickly and provide immediate and ongoing financial returns.
NCBA is the biggest certificate creator in the NSW Energy Savings Scheme. In NSW, we have the highest level of volumetric certificates ever awarded by IPART (the Scheme Administrator) - 200,000 ESCs. This represents a rolling market value of over $5 million in certificates on any day and highlights the scheme’s confidence in NCBA’s procedures based on our proven level of integrity, professionalism, efficiency and effectiveness.
In 2019 Green Energy Trading, Australia’s most trusted solar aggregator, bought NCBA to form the biggest certificate creator in the nation with NCBA continuing to act as the energy efficiency arm of the business across both NSW and Victoria. Our long-lasting relationship with our clients pays off. Over the last five years, we were the top certificate creator for ESCs. In 2021, we were also second-to-none.
