Who can apply
Australian Renewable Energy Agency does not publish a structured list of eligible applicant types for this program, so this page does not show one. The eligibility criteria in the guidelines on the official page are the ones that count.

How to apply
Applications are made through
Australian Renewable Energy Agency
Not through GrantWindow. We do not take applications, charge a fee or act as an intermediary, and any site that offers to apply on your behalf for a government grant is worth a very careful look. The direct link to Australian Renewable Energy Agency's own application page is one of the two facts a trial opens, alongside the exact closing date.
- Confirm details on the official page before applying. GrantWindow records what the funder published and when we read it. We are not the funder and this page is not legal, financial or eligibility advice.
