We're thrilled to unveil the Queensland Business Energy Saving and Transformation (QBEST) Rebates, designed exclusively for small and medium-sized businesses across Queensland.

About The Queensland Business Energy Saving and Transformation (QBEST) Rebates scheme

The QBEST Rebates scheme offers financial assistance to qualifying small and medium-sized Queensland businesses aiming to install energy-efficient equipment.

The energy-efficient equipment you purchase and install should reduce your business's energy consumption and energy costs and play a role in achieving the Queensland Government's carbon reduction objectives.

QBEST Program Key Details

By leveraging the abundance of solar energy, we can help you offset rising electricity costs.
