HOW WE CAN HELP YOUR
BUSINESS
GEM Energy have a very unique set of skills and services
that directly improve the profitability of your business.
We cater for businesses of all sizes and even for those
businesses that rent their premises.
By improving the energy efficiency of your business
through one of our services we are able to reduce your
fixed operating costs, resulting in an immediate
increase in profit.
In January 2016 GEM Energy became the first
organisation in Australia to successfully commission a
commercial hybrid solar and battery system onto a
school in Bundaberg, Queensland that will provide
enough energy to reduce an annual power bill from
$120,000 to less than $20,000 offering a return of
investment of less than 6 years.
Through key partnerships with the Clean Energy
Finance Corporation, NAB and CBA, we are able to offer
access to very low cost funding solutions with terms of
up to 10 years for any energy efficiency improvement
initiatives. Interest rates are competitive starting from
4% fixed, and both off-balance sheet and on-balance
sheet finance options are available.
This allows us to tailor and engineer the correct solution
whilst providing cash flow positive investments.
Our solutions are low risk – high reward opportunities
that can be purchased using existing operating capital
using only the savings you make on your power costs to
pay off the investment.
The energy network in Australia is fast becoming
obsolete and cheaper sources of energy generation are
readily available.
Coupling your very own form of energy generation with
the integration of more energy efficient technologies
you can easily achieve a reduction in energy usage of
50% or more.
