Policy, projects and partnerships
The Energy Efficiency Council works on behalf of its members to drive ambitious government policy and support decision making and growth.
Policy, projects and partnerships work enables us to provide governments, industry and consumers with accurate and up to date information and advice in the interests of sensible, stable energy efficiency policy.
Policy
The Council’s expert team of staff and advisors – led by Head of Policy, Jeremy Sung – work with governments at the state and federal level, key industry and professional associations, and non-governmental organisations, particularly our NGO Partners on a range of advocacy campaigns.
Our advocacy agenda is particularly focused on the following areas:
- Commercial buildings, both existing and new builds;
- Energy efficiency schemes across the ACT, NSW, South Australia and Victoria;
- Energy market reform, including the introduction of a wholesale demand response mechanism;
- Government operations in buildings and facilities;
- Industrial energy management, particularly in manufacturing, agriculture and resources sectors;
- Residential energy efficiency to ensure healthy comfortable homes for all Australians.
If you're a member of the Energy Efficiency Council and would like to join one or more of the Council's Task Groups, which are each focused on the above areas, please email jeremy.sung@eec.org.au
