Across the globe, energy efficiency is being put to work. With the energy affordability crisis showing no sign of easing and northern hemisphere heatwaves providing stark reminders of our pressing climate concerns, Europe and the US are responding with huge new commitments to energy efficiency policy and programs. Here in Australia, it’s time to take energy efficiency out of the toolbox.

On the eve of the Federal Budget, the 2022 Energy Efficiency Summit brings government, global experts, prominent consumer advocates and our largest industry associations together for a unique, economy-wide discussion on the opportunities and challenges for Australia, and the role of energy efficiency in the response – in this moment and beyond. The summit will be delivered in person from Sydney, with a national online audience able to pose live questions to speakers and panellists.

On the eve of the Federal Budget, the 2022 Energy Efficiency Summit brought government, global experts, prominent consumer advocates and our largest industry associations together for a unique, economy-wide discussion on the opportunities and challenges for Australia, and the role of energy efficiency in the response – in this moment and beyond. The summit was delivered in person from Sydney, with a national online audience.

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’ve felt it was impossible to do these schemes justice in a short Conference session, so in 2023, we're excited to announce that for the first time, the EEC will hold the National Efficiency Schemes Summit.

A full-day event, the Summit takes place on Tuesday 23 May in Sydney, immediately prior to the National Energy Efficiency Conference 2023.

Joining us will be 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 will give the opening keynote, providing important global context for the opportunities and challenges for our schemes in Australia.

With representation from every state with an existing scheme and those considering a step into the space, this is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to hear from experts and share ideas on how our schemes move forward.
