Consultation Process - Exemption for Generators, Transmitters and Distributors
EEO Home | Contact
Companies whose main business is in electricity generation or electricity or natural gas transmission or distribution have been exempt from participating in the Energy Efficiency Opportunities program since it began on 1 July 2006.
The Australian Government recently reviewed this exemption and decided to extend it for a further four years, until 30 June 2013. In November 2008 and March 2009, the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism consulted with the public, and potentially affected stakeholders, as part of the review process. Documents relating to these consultation processes are available below.
The Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism would like to thank those who participated and contributed to the consultation and overall review processes.
The Energy Efficiency Opportunities Regulations 2006 have been amended to reflect the decision to extend the exemption for these sectors. Copies of the amended regulations are available from the Commonwealth of Australia Law website
.
The future of the exemption will again be reviewed prior to 30 June 2013.
If you have any further questions regarding the exemption, please phone David Allbeury on 02 6213 7277 or the EEO Hotline on 1300 799 186.
