New Energy Jobs Fund Round Two - Geelong Stakeholder Forum

Round Two of the Victorian Government’s $20 million New Energy Jobs Fund is now open, with applications closing on 1 March 2017.

Up to $6 million is available in two streams - Community and Industry. Categories will focus on manufacturing, technology, community energy and skills development. Eligible projects may include physical projects, innovative business and finance models, and projects that address skills gaps in the sector.

Grant funding for individual projects will range from $50,000 to $1 million, with the exception of community energy feasibility studies and business cases with a minimum limit of $20,000 and a maximum limit of $50,000 and $100,000 respectively.

Ten forums will be held around the State to provide an overview of the New Energy Jobs Fund Round Two, and an opportunity to ask questions about the guidelines and application process.
