The program, now in its fourth round, will continue to support projects that deliver significant emissions reductions and community benefits.
The fund was launched in 2020 to provide grants for projects that will test and demonstrate new clean energy technologies in WA and enable wider adoption.
According to a Tuesday (January 6) announcementMinister for Energy and Decarbonisation Amber-Jade Sanderson announced the launch of Round 4 during a visit to Electric Power Conversions Australia, a local company that previously received a CEFF grant to convert a diesel mining truck to an all-electric battery.
“Western Australia is committed to driving innovation in clean energy technologies that deliver real emissions reductions and community benefits. This fund will help local projects turn ideas into action,” Sanderson said.
“It has supported a variety of clean energy projects, including the electrification of mine haul trucks, the replacement of diesel generators with battery storage, pumped hydroelectric power plants and reusable solar power plants.”
Previous recipients of CEFF include Alinta Energy’s Port Hedland Big Battery project from Round 2 and Nomadic Energy from Round 1.
“Investing in clean energy is critical to decarbonizing our economy and securing WA’s position as a leader in the transition to net zero.”
As part of the Sector Emissions Reduction Strategy for Western Australia, the Government has invested an additional AU$18 million for the period 2030 to 2031 and AU$11.2 million for the period 2026 to 2027.
The adjustments bring the government’s total investment to AU$37 million.
The Clean Energy Future Fund is managed by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation with support from Energy Policy WA.
The application for the grant closes on April 20, 2026.
