Membership
Industry membership
The EEC’s industry members are frontline energy management product and service providers supporting businesses and households through Australia’s energy transition.
Industry members provide advice, finance projects, manufacture products and implement energy solutions that deliver:
- Healthy, comfortable buildings;
- Productive, competitive businesses; and
- An affordable, reliable and sustainable energy system for Australia.
Industry members are Australia’s leading providers of energy management products, services and expertise in commercial and residential buildings, manufacturing, resources, agribusiness, transport and government operations.
EEC members are energy management leaders that collaborate with the EEC to drive the national debate around demand side opportunities, leading the conversation with businesses, governments and the broader community.
Industry membership tiers
The EEC has four tiers available to industry, with tier eligibility dependent upon a company’s annual turnover and its level of collaboration with the EEC.
Membership benefits
Industry Leader, Corporate, Associate and Network Tiers
All industry members receive the EEC’s core membership benefits across:
- Policy and advocacy;
- Business growth; and
- Professional development.
The Council’s senior industry members – Industry Leader and Corporate tiers – receive additional membership benefits. Any industry member can elect to apply for a higher membership tier.
Senior member benefits
Industry Leader and Corporate Tiers
Account management
Senior members have dedicated account managers that work directly with them to facilitate collaboration with the EEC for mutual benefit.
Policy and advocacy
Senior members lead the development of EEC policy and advocacy positions through involvement in Working Groups and participating in monthly member briefings.
Working Groups are focused on particular policy priorities. They give members the opportunity to develop the EEC’s policy and advocacy position on key areas, as well as to shape market transformation priorities.
Monthly member briefings give senior members a regular opportunity to discuss the latest developments in energy management policy and practice.
Professional development
Senior members receive priority invitations to boardroom-style Leaders’ Lunches with Ministers and other exclusive events.
Exclusive Industry Leader membership benefits
Industry Leader members receive all of the membership benefits of senior members, with the addition of the following:
Account management
Industry Leader members have a Senior EEC Executive act as their dedicated account manager. The EEC develops annual partnership plans with its Industry Leader members that include dedicated collaboration activities that align with the strategic priorities of the EEC. The EEC’s three strategic priorities are:
- Driving ambitious government policy;
- Supporting business decision making and growth; and
- Ensuring quality with standards and professional development.
Business growth
Industry Leader members have first priority access to event and project partnership opportunities. They are recognised in key EEC publications, such as flagship policy reports. They also receive the highest level of recognition on the EEC’s website and during public presentations.
Professional development
Industry Leader members are the first to be invited to boardroom-style Leaders’ Lunches, unique opportunities like participation in COAG Energy Council stakeholder forums, and other exclusive events.
Fees and eligibility
Membership fees and turnover thresholds are set annually by the EEC’s Board. The EEC’s industry membership tiers have a range of benefits and fees, with eligibility dependent upon a company’s annual turnover and its level of collaboration with the EEC.
