Australia’s energy efficiency schemes have been driving energy performance improvements for well over a decade, but the landscape is changing quickly.
Energy systems, policy goals and technological capabilities are accelerating, and all have big implications for the schemes. Increasingly, we felt it was impossible to do these schemes justice in a short Conference session, so in 2023, we held the National Efficiency Schemes Summit.
A full-day event, the Summit took place on Tuesday 23 May in Sydney, immediately prior to the National Energy Efficiency Conference 2023.
The opening keynote was given by Dr Jan Rosenow, Head of European Programs at the Regulatory Assistance Project. A world-renowned expert in electrification, energy management and efficiency schemes, Dr Rosenow provided important global context for the opportunities and challenges for our schemes in Australia.
The Schemes Summit included representation from every state with an existing scheme, plus many from those states considering a step into the space.
