Who we are
Low Energy Supplies and Services Pty Ltd (LESS) is an Australian company that delivers energy and water savings to generate real financial and environmental benefits. With offices in Sydney and Melbourne, LESS has over 40 staff and a growing portfolio of programs.
LESS is a leading innovator in creating and delivering energy efficiency and demand management programs in Australia. Our expertise is in the large-scale distribution of domestic energy and water efficient products either direct to householders or through public and private sector clients.
Founded in 2001, LESS has been directly responsible for almost two million tonnes of carbon abatement and water savings of over four gigalitres per annum.
Since our foundation we have provided energy-saving light bulbs and showerheads to over 200,000 homes in NSW in partnership with over 50 metropolitan and regional councils, metropolitan and regional water companies as well as energy utilities, NGOs and charities and businesses.
Our accreditation under State and national greenhouse schemes
LESS was the first private company to gain accreditation to create NSW Greenhouse Gas Abatement Certificates for distribution of efficient showerheads and energy saving light bulbs under the NSW Greenhouse Gas Reduction Scheme.
LESS has also gained accreditation under the national Greenhouse FriendlyTM program administered by the Australian Greenhouse Office - one of only 2 companies accredited to create abatement from energy-saving bulbs.
