Energy Efficiency Council have applauded the Finkel Review's call for governments to move decisively to incentivise smart energy use with a 'demand response mechanism'. However, the Council also warned that many previous reports have highlighted these opportunities with little result, and called for decisive, bipartisan action from governments to finally unlock these benefits for consumers and households.
