Get your business investment ready
Gas supply is tightening in New Zealand, creating greater cost and supply uncertainty for commercial and industrial businesses.
EECA offers independent advisory support to help businesses reduce their reliance on reticulated natural gas, improve energy efficiency and develop investment-ready energy projects, complementing financing available through the Government's Gas Transition Loan Guarantee Scheme.
