We challenged six small businesses to reduce their power use over eight weeks.
Participating businesses were each part of the Energy Efficiency for Small Business Program.
Each business in the challenge will save an average of almost $1,670, or 16 per cent on their annual power bills.
The Save Power Challenge was featured in the Sunday Telegraph and the Daily Telegraph.
