  • VIC ENERGY UPGRADES PROGRAM (VEU)

    The Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program reduces greenhouse gas emissions by providing access to discounted energy efficient products and services. The VEU program has very similar intentions to the NSW ESS, as it is designed to encourage energy efficiency improvements by implementation more affordable and attractive. For more information, please contact our sister company Green Energy Trading.

    EMISSION REDUCTIONS FUND (ERF)

    Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) are still available for Commercial upgrades outside NSW, under NCBA's aggregation project. Click here for more information

  • The National Carbon Bank of Australia is an Accredited Certified Provider (ACP) under the NSW Energy Savings Scheme and an Accredited Person (AP) under the Victorian Energy Upgrades Program.

    NCBA is the leading certificate creator in the Country under our Commercial Lighting Accreditations, processing claims for thousands of sites. At NCBA we work with Installers to generate and return the monetary incentives available to you through Energy Savings Certificates (ESCs).

    Subject to scheme conditions being met, NCBA will create ESCs on behalf of your company and trade them on the certificate markets. NCBA will then transfer you the net returns generated, offsetting the capital costs of the Energy Conservation Measure (ECM).
