Australian Energy Efficiency Policy Handbook (2016)
In 2016, the EEC launched the first edition of the Australian Energy Efficiency Policy Handbook. The Handbook is a comprehensive guide to the policies that are essential to drive ambitious energy efficiency improvements in Australia.
The Australian Energy Efficiency Policy Handbook was developed in close consultation with experts from across Australia’s energy sector. It provides state and federal governments with a detailed plan and evidence-based recommendations for driving a step change in energy efficiency across all sectors of the Australian economy.
The EEC will release a second edition of the Handbook in the second half of 2019. This edition takes into account the feedback we receive on the first edition and any new data that becomes available. In this way, we hope to build a consensus on what constitutes sensible, stable and economically prudent energy efficiency policy in Australia.
