The Ethanol Distribution Program (EDP) was an eligibility-based grants program targeting retail service stations. It provided grants of up to $20 000 to reduce the infrastructure cost to enable a service station to supply 10 per cent ethanol blended petrol (E10).
The objective of the EDP was to increase the number of retail service stations selling E10, increase the volume of E10 sold and encourage the sale of E10 at a lower price than regular unleaded petrol.
The Program consisted of two grants:
- An Infrastructure Upgrade Grant of up to $10 000 for service stations that upgrade existing equipment or install new equipment to provide for the sales of E10. The work must be completed between 1 October 2006 and 31 March 2008.
- A further Sales Target Grant of up to $10 000 for those retail service stations that have upgraded their site and that have reached a specified E10 sales target within 12 months of completing the upgrade.
