$14 million to help Australian businesses manufacture renewable energy technologies
The successful grant recipient Powering Australia Limited will now establish the Powering Australia Industry Growth Centre (PAIGC).
The PAIGC is a commitment under the Australian Made Battery Plan. It will fund activities and provide services to:
- help businesses manufacture renewable energy technologies and commercialise local ideas
- encourage connections between critical minerals producers and renewable technology manufacturers
- deliver First Nations advisory services to build First Nations business management capabilities.
The PAIGC complements other initiatives from our department like the National Reconstruction Fund and Critical Minerals Strategy 2023-30.
