Australia's national strategy for energy efficiency: a policy paper

Source: Climate Institute
"The policy paper Australia’s National Strategy for Energy Efficiency calls for federal government leadership in three key areas: Support for households to reduce energy wastage; Incentives and support for commercial and industrial sectors; Improved standards and disclosure of information for domestic and commercial appliances and facilities. The Institute claims that backed by a range of supporting policies, these measures will underwrite households’ energy affordability, improve Australia’s global energy productivity and should provide the basis for developing a National Strategy for Energy Efficiency to be implemented from June 2009, as agreed by Council of Australian Governments (COAG).
