ESCs

The ESS Scheme

What is the ESS?

ESS stands for Energy Savings Scheme. The ESS is governed by NSW legislation and was developed to create financial incentives for organisations to implement energy savings activities. Energy savings activities reduce business costs and greenhouse gas emissions, increase staff productivity, improve work environments and potentially increase property value!

What is an ESC?

An ESC is an Energy Saving Certificate. Each year the NSW Government sets an ESC target incentivising ESS participants to engage in a range of energy saving activities and upgrades. Each certificate represents a saving of one MWh (megawatt hour) and can only be approved by Accredited Certificate Providers.

How are ESCs created?

1. Businesses invest in an energy savings activity (such as retrofitting littil LED lighting) to reduce their energy use.
2. ESCs are generated through the reduction in energy use. littil calculate the reduction in energy use and obtain the ESCs on behalf of our customers.
3. Liable parties, such as electricity retailers, buy the ESCs (at prices set in response to the market supply and demand).
4. The price obtained for the ESCs is returned to the business that generates them via littil
