A small innovative switch is all it took for a Buderim baker to make sure his bread rises and not his power bills.
Baker’s Delight Buderim proprietor Mr Damien Pauling, installed a G-Switch to monitor the power each piece of bakery equipment uses, “The monitor was hooked up to our main switch board and we are already saving more than 1.5hours power use every day,” Mr Pauling said.
“We get our bills quarterly and the reduction in our power use will have a positive impact on our power bills. This simple switch means I can adjust settings on equipment to avoid using power at peak times.”
Federal Member for Fairfax, Ted O’Brien said he was pleased to support the delivery of this funding to local Fairfax businesses, but shared concerns for others who are still struggling against a tide of rising energy bills.
“These grants will help small business save money on their energy bills, improve energy efficiency and reduce their carbon footprint,” Mr O’Brien said.
“I am thrilled to help deliver over $185,000 in energy efficiency grants for local small business, but I am deeply concerned for the thousands who struggle every day to pay their electricity bills.”
Mr O’Brien announced nine Sunshine Coast businesses received a total of $185,753 in round two of the Energy Efficiency Grants for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises at Baker’s Delight Buderim.
