A Plan for Affordable Energy

The Energy Efficiency Council joined forces with the Australian Industry Group, CHOICE, and the Brotherhood of St Laurence and commissioned energy market experts Oakley Greenwood to identify options to put downward pressure on electricity prices. Based on the Oakley Greenwood report and our collective expertise, the group wrote 'A Plan for Affordable Energy' that looks at the wholesale energy market, networks, consumer protection and energy management.
